Fort Myers actress embraces Matrix look-alike role
BY EVAN WILLIAMS

Deborah Smith Ford is always waiting for her next role to begin. She has performed in more than 30 films — six in the last 2½ years — plus commercials, television programs, modeling spots and infomercials.

Still, her acting life is “feast or famine,” Mrs. Ford said. “Actors really need to know how to invest and save.”

After “The Matrix” came out, people told her she looked like Carrie-Anne Moss’ character, Trinity, so she expanded her repertoire to include a look-alike Trinity. That opened a door into a larger world of look-alike characters.

Mrs. Ford flourished there, making friends in the look-alike community and winning a shelf-full of awards for Trinity. At the Celebrity Impersonator Convention in Las Vegas in 2007, she was honored among hundreds, like Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Donald Trump and Tom Cruise, snagging the Reel Award for Best Actress.
