Yvonne Senat Jones - series regular on Tyler Perry's "Ruthless" shares with us how she was cast as "Tally" and also has a big reveal!!
Yvonne was born in Dallas, TX. She is of Bolivian-Haitian descent and is fluent in Spanish. She fell in love with acting at El Camino College under the instruction of Mr.Ron Scarlata. She transferred to Cal State Long Beach and graduated with a BA in Theatre Arts then received a full scholarship to University of South Carolina where she earned her Masters of Fine Arts in Acting.
She immediately began teaching theatre arts because it was one of the few teaching positions that only required a college degree. She quickly learned that she loved it and began working with a non-profit organization, City Hearts LA, an organization which brings the arts to schools that wouldn't normally be able to fund an arts program.
Her first big break came when Emmy-Award winning casting director , Robi Reed, cast her in the role of Robyn Crawford in the BET movie "The Bobby Brown Story". The cast won the NAACP Image Award for best TV Movie.
A year later she booked the recurring role of Tally in Tyler Perry's Hit Drama "The Oval". Dir.Perry then expanded her role to a series regular lead in his spin off, "Ruthless".
Her previous roles include Guest Stars on "The Orville" and "Cursed", and appearances on shows like "SWAT", working opposite Shemar Moore, and "Code Black" working opposite Boris Kodjoe.
Yvonne and her husband, Charles Jones, own the production company, MFB Entertainment.
