Karuna Sun - Apache Sniper

By Dan Thornton on May 14, 2012 8:00 AM | No Comments

Karuna Sun is the Apache Sniper, or soon will be, in the Will Bresch film of the same name about a female Vietnamese sniper and interrogator who brutalized and tortured U.S. servicemen in the Vietnam War. Her goal was complete and utter destruction of her victims. Will says " Professionally and directionally speaking. I know I made the right choice with Karuna Sun and look forward to seeing her work on Apache Sniper."

Karuna the actor has this same sort of determination in her career as an actor, model, and TV co-anchor. Networking with producers, directors, and other actors is the conduit that has kept her engaged since she began screen work back in the mid 90's.

A distant cousin of Amelia Earhart she has the same sense of adventure. Acting and modeling has taken her around the country. Currently she is in Miami, Florida, but is always prepared to go where the production carries her.

Below is a conversation I had recently with Karuna about her acting career.
