- Karyn Lucy O'Bryan was born and raised in Overland Park, Kansas. She came to Hollywood in pursuit of a career in politics but fell into acting when she went on her first audition for Private Resort with Johnny Depp. She then pursued an acting career landing roles on The A-Team, Family Ties, and Josie & the Pussycats. As a single mom, she chose to make the switch to commercial actress, enabling her to be more available to her kids. Karyn then went on to do over 50 National spots for Coca Cola, Michelob, Nabisco, Black Angus, Kelloggs, etc.
Eventually she was able to set the acting aside and follow her greatest passion: Photography and Human Rights issues. She found her calling in the refugee camps of the Kosovo War in 1999. Since then her photography has taken her to some of the worlds most dangerous places, including Haiti, Bosnia, Albania, and Cuba. Now she dedicates all of her energy to exposing Human Rights abuses, in particular, modern day slavery and human trafficking. She is the mother of three wonderful children and loves to travel with them off the beaten path.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Duncan

- We, who are more fortunate, can make a difference. I believe If one person can negatively affect the lives of millions (think about dictators), so too can one individual change the world for the better. Many of the people I meet have tragic stories of unimaginable pain. Yet they still have hope. Their hearts are broken but their spirits are not. If they can dream of a future built on a shattered past, what can we do to nurture that hope?
