Katie Fountain
as Sarah Fenwick
Grace in the Shadows is thrilled to welcome Katie Fountain playing "Sarah Fenwick". Katie first came to Los Angeles at 17. She appeared on hit prime-time television shows such as Monk, Friday Night Lights, Boomtown, Family Law, Miracles, and NYPD Blue. She left LA in 2003 to continue her studies and claim a little life experience. Katie became an accomplished Marketing Manager at a San Francisco based start-up called Tout which led to a job as the Visual Content Creator and Manager for Governor Mitt Romney during his 2012 Presidential Campaign.
Katie came back to the LA area in 2015 and co-starred on "Bosch" for Amazon and a Guest Lead on Criminal Minds for CBS.
In 2017 Katie took some time off to get married and start a family which led her back to her home-state of Texas. She most recently booked a co-star role on “Walker” for the WB and a supporting role in “American Underdog” from Lionsgate where she plays Brenda Warner’s sister Kim. We are very pleased to have Katie in a major role in our movie.
Sharonne Lanier studied Theatre Performance at the University of Central Florida graduating magna cum laude. While studying, doubts and thoughts of giving up began to cloud her dreams. On the verge of switching paths, her mother said to her, "I believe God gives you dreams and visions for a reason. Don't run from it". Since then, she hasn't looked back.
Sharonne is a proud member of the Actor's Equity Association and has performed professionally in countless stage plays, television, and film productions. One of her proudest achievements was working as a company member at the AD Players under Jeannette Clift George where she learned and experienced the value of keeping God at the center of her aspirations.
It is not Sharonne's goal to simply entertain, but she says, "I am an actress who will use my God given talents to positively motivate people and point them towards His love. I seek to participate in productions that aim to teach and enhance the joy and integrity of people's lives. I will leave this world knowing I contributed to making a number of people's lives easier to live." She is known for The Forge, Sons of the South, Searching for the Elephant, and Unsung Hero.
