temperance lancecouncil
Mini Bio (temperance lancecouncil) Calling herself a poli-acto (short for politician-actress), like Fred Thompson, Al Franken, Nancy Kulp or Sheila Kuehl, Temperance Lance-Council does have a few role models in which to emulate in her entertainment and political endeavors. As founder of The Anti-Hypocrisy Party of America, some may have seen her in The New York Times or POLITICO; but she's been a SAG actress for over twenty years. Her personal and entertainment life is as storied as any Hollywood type backed up with appearances in The National Enquirer, various now-defunct game shows, on FOX News and CNN. She even ran a Los Angeles Marathon in a loin cloth to protest apartheid in South Africa ... and, she's even fronted her own R & B band. She credits former Good Day LA and The Ricki Lake Show producer Lisa Kridos, for her first (and second) television appearance in a major market-Los Angeles - when Kridos booked her twice on AM Los Angeles. Later, she was approached to appear on The Hot Seat, an over-the-top, TV staple in Southern California back then, where she bantered with the show's host, Wally George, a combative conservative, "who pioneered insult television," per the Los Angeles Times (Jean O. Pasco, Times Staff Writer). Maybe that was her foray into the lively repartee she found herself engaged in with The New York Post's Andrea Peyser, in a Boston TV studio earlier in her career. SAG has her listed as Lancecouncil, but other media outlets have her as the hyphenated, Lance-Council.
