Lani Garcia began her television career in Detroit as the FYI entertainment news magazine Host. She Produced and Hosted the cable TV show, along with other programs, earning 9 cable television awards. Having studied performing arts since she was a pre-teen, Lani's acting career wasn't far behind. She has been in over 40 television programs, films, commercials, voice overs, print campaigns, and web series.
Lani has studied theatrically with some of the best acting teachers in Hollywood and can be seen in the Bollywood film Perception, the Letter, the Sci-Fi adventure 8 Lying on its Side, and the dating tale The Foreshadow. In the summer of 2013, Lani was cast in the Sci-Fi web series Two Sides, and rounded out the year portraying the girlfriend of an out-of-date duchebag in the comedic series Awkward Moments, episode 4. Most recently, she shows her feisty, edgy side as Sophia in What Happens in Brooklyn, and as a mesmerizing Sorceress in Leda's Revenge, released in early 2014. She is currently in pre-production for both the short thriller The Tarot Card and the dramedy T.O.L - The Over Looked.
Lani has recently booked several Hosting jobs as well. She trained with the infamous Queen of Hosting Marki Costello, and it has paid off. When citing memorable moments as a Host, Garcia recalls a humorous scene with the Food Network's Alton Brown, interviewing Billy D. Williams about his romance novel, being one of the first on-air personalities to drive a hydrogen fuel cell car, shooting in a helicopter, entering a fire dressed in a firefighter's suit, and getting covered in spinach while hosting a cooking special.
Garcia is also proud of those projects that contributed to society; some include a PBS sustainable architecture documentary, an alternate fuel documentary, and the Junior League's Emmy-nominated anti-domestic violence campaign Dangerous Games. In addition, Garcia lent her talents to Health Center, and co-hosted Autowire news magazine. Stop Foreclosure still receives praise, a television program she hosted/produced about the realities of home foreclosure.
When taking time away, Lani designs custom rock n' roll pieces for the high-end jewelry line she created, Royal Court Silver. She is a precision driver, trained at the Bondourant school in Phoenix, and reads books by motivational speakers like Dr. Wayne Dyer every chance she gets - oh - and enjoys her belly dancing classes!
Garcia graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in Communications and Film. Prior to college, she studied at the Interlochen Arts Academy and also became the youngest certified NLP Practitioner in the US.
