The Road So Far for actress @AmyGumenick via @tdmiller820917 #TURN #Arrow #Supernatural

Actress Amy Gumenick may not be a household name (yet) but the versatile actress continues to compile an impressive body of work.

Already a television veteran, Gumenick has appeared in numerous small screen projects. She starred as ill-fated teen Natalee Holloway. Some of her other acting credits include roles on Bones and Grey’s Anatomy.

But the road so far took Gumenick to The CW where she achieved greater recognition and countless fans for roles on Supernatural and Arrow. As Young Mary Winchester, the doomed mother of heroic brothers Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) on the long running Supernatural, Gumenick turned in stellar performances. In her first appearance in the Season 4 episode,”In The Beginning,” fans learned that Mary reluctantly embraced the Campbell family business of hunting. Her story was one of longing for a normal life (a familiar refrain, especially with her youngest son Sam) yet having her own life come to a tragic end courtesy of the Yellow Eyed Demon. Gumenick’s second appearance in the Season 5 episode “The Song Remains The Same” once again allowed the actress to tap into Mary’s strength and determination.

Time travel works well in the Supernatural universe so hopefully, we will see Young Mary again.

In the meantime, Gumenick moved to another CW show, Arrow, and once again delivered dynamic and memorable performances as Carrie Cutter/Cupid. Her interpretation of Cupid is chilling. Viewers see a character starving for love whose pain consumes her and causes her to do unsavory things. It is the hallmark of Gumenick’s talent that she can give viewers such distinct and convincing characters in Mary and Cupid.

Currently, the gifted actress has again succeeded as Philomena in AMC’s period drama TURN: Washington Spies. As Philomena, Gumenick reveals a mixture of charisma and mystique leaving viewers mesmerized.

The road so far for Amy Gumenick is a journey of creative excellence. Viewers have gratefully been a part of this ride. We wouldn’t have it any other way!
