‏London Li Grace‏

London Li Grace (aka Phyllis Spielman) is an American actress and began producing in 2018 on the feature film "Finding Grace" and "A Girl Like Me" after costarring in Stasis (2017) directed by Nicole Jones-Dion. She made an appearance in the opening scene as Claire, a reporter, in the classic George A. Romero's re-make of Day of the Dead-Bloodline (2018) directed by Hector Hernancez Vicens. She has received best actress nominations for her starring roles in Sirens (2015)directed by Joey Spillane and in Come to Me Sister Mary (2018) directed by Tory Van Buskirk. She joined the Veterans in Media & Entertainment in early 2018 to collaborate with current and former members of the military in the Television and Movie Industry.

She was born in Floreseville, Texas of ethnic diversity with ancestry heritage lineage from her Mother Devey DeVenney (German, British, Irish, Lithuanian and Jewish) and her biological Father Sammy Slover (British, Irish, Scottish & Swedish). She was adopted at the age of 9 by Douglas Spielman while living in Devine, Texas. At a young age she was accepted into a gifted and talented program that offered students with exceptional abilities to be pulled out of classes to focus on creative solutions to problem solving. Her grandparents Patrick and Kitty Dubose owned The Devine News and was always involved in the community. In her first summer job at Sea World of Texas, Phyllis portrayed Penny the Penguin and other costumed characters to entertain the guests. She was active in theater and sports all four years in high school, but new experiences provided new challenges and real-life roles. While studying Public Relations at Johnson and Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, she became the Public Relations Officer for the International Club, and developed an unquenchable curiosity for the world and its many cultures. Phyllis became a student, wife, mother, makeup artist , 3rd generation Army Veteran as U.S. Army Corporal, CPL Mack, (stationed in Friedberg, Germany), a defense contractor, and a world traveler. She spent time in 13 different countries: Germany, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Turkey, Canada, Mexico, Israel, Morocco, Amsterdam & Columbia. To facilitate her penchant for travel, she became fluent in Spanish and proficient in German, and dabbled in French and Italian. Phyllis says she's not through learning new languages and visiting foreign countries. She earned a B.A. in Business Administration/International Business from The University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, Texas, and later an M.A. in Global Management from Ashford University, Iowa. She studied Spanish for a couple of semesters at the University of Mexico San Antonio. She has revisited her passion for acting, and in true Texas fashion, she's busted out of the gates with a full head of steam. After studying the acting craft in L.A. and Denver with Jorge-Luis Pallo and Brian McCulley for Television and Movie roles and with Sylvia Gregory for Commercial Work and Mark Grove for action on screen, Phyllis was cast for a television pilot on the small screen in a production filmed in Columbia, South America. In 2014, she debuted on the big screen in "The White Witch," developed for Denver's 48-hour Film Festival, in the title role. That film earned Runner Up for the Audience Choice awards, and was later honored in "Denver's Best Of..." competition for 2014. As if a fuse had been lit, Phyllis' acting career truly began after booking the lead role as Sarah in "Sirens," a 24 minute short film released in August 2015. She was cast for supporting roles in the feature-length film "Sever" (as reporter Veronica Desky) and caught the eye of Hollywood Director and was cast as Martha in the World Wide Released Feature Film "Ghosthunters" 2016. Phyllis brings a full arsenal of athletic and social skills to her screen-acting abilities. In addition to her innate ability to learn languages, she's primed for action with advanced-level capabilities in snow skiing and intermediate abilities riding horseback - including barrel racing and cutting - weightlifting, in-line skating and roller skating, and yoga. As if that's not enough, Phyllis is experienced with firearms and can drive almost anything on wheels and has her motorcycle license. And every self-respecting girl from the Lone Star State dazzles with the Texas Two-Step, among other dancing skills. When Phyllis isn't seeking adventure on and off the big screen, she's apt to devote her energy to supporting her children, community events and the Wounded Warrior project and others.
