Paton Ashbrook biography

Birth Name : Paton Lee Lamas
Date of Birth : 6 September 1988
Height : 5' 9" (1.75 m)
Occupation : Actress

From an early age, Paton got the acting bug. Maybe it had to do with being raised around the business-- Her mother Daphne Ashbrook has been an actress for years and brought Paton on her first film set at the age of three. There was never a moment where she doubted that this was truly the life she wanted; what she was meant to do.
Then it got serious. Paton was performing and writing her own projects by the age of 10. Craving an intense conservatory-like environment, she applied and got accepted into the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts where she received advanced training in theatre and film-making, including Suzuki and Viewpoints, Commedia dell'arte, Musical Theatre, Stage Combat, Improvisation, Film as Art, Foreign Cinema, and much more.

A 2004 trip to the United Kingdom was filmed for the 2005 documentary Daphne Ashbrook in the UK. This DVD documentary followed her work with Doctor Who, including her role as Perfection in the Big Finish Productions audio play The Next Life. She performed opposite Paul McGann for first time since the 1996 telemovie. In 2006, she played Charlotte Howell in the audio drama Dark Shadows: The Book of Temptation for the same company. She has been to the UK twice thus far for Doctor Who convention events. She was featured in extensive interviews on the Doctor Who podcast Doctor Who: DWO Whocast and Doctor Who podcast Doctor Who: Podshock. Additionally, she featured in other Doctor Who podcasts. She was notable as being one of only ten actors—and the only woman—to be credited in both the Star Trek and Doctor Who franchises.[1] until the appearance of Nana Visitor on Torchwood: Miracle Day in 2011, 15 years later.
