MIRIAM SHOR (Carol) created the role of Yitzak in the award-winning off-Broadway rock extravaganza, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." She also opened the show in Los Angeles and can be heard on the Grammy®-nominated CD recording. She will reprise the role in the motion picture, which was filmed this summer.

Born in Minneapolis, Shor's family moved to Italy, then to Detroit when she was a child. Until she finished high school, Shor spent alternating years in Italy and the United States. She attended the University of Michigan, where she received a BFA in Theatre and a BA in English. It was while attending college that she first became interested in acting, appearing in school plays as well as at fellow-actor Jeff Daniels' Purple Rose Theatre.

Following graduation, Shor moved to New York where her first audition earned her a role in the national tour of "Fiddler on the Roof." In addition, she starred in numerous regional and national tour productions.

Shor's film credits include the independent features "Entropy," "Flushed" and "Snow Days." She also appeared in the television series "Then Came You."
