Already a favorite of the devoted fans of her two earlier series, The L Word and The Gates, Janina’s role in True Blood as shape-shifter Luna is the talk of the Trubies.

In addition to her starring roles in three series, the three-quarters Indian, one-quarter Dutch beauty has appeared in Stargate Atlantis, Grey's Anatomy, The Cleaner, Dollhouse, NCIS, and Three Rivers.  She also has been frequently recurring on the comedy series The League on FX, Traffic Light on FOX, Arrow on the CW and can soon be seen in The Goodwin Games for FOX. 

During her hiatus from True Blood she has also been shooting the independent films Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf and Satellite of Love, which is successfully making festival rounds.

But as an accomplished musician, she has a second life as a performer.  She grew up studying classical piano, percussion and voice, joined the girl group EnDera on the Cash Money label, and has seen her original music licensed for film and television.  Her 2010 music video reworking the Kanye West hit "Love Lockdown" elicited raves from fans and critics. 2012 is marking another big step in her music career by signing a deal with Randy Jackson’s label. She just released the first single "Waiting For Godot" which has been getting much critical acclaim. 

But there’s also Janina the Geek, who not only writes program code for friends, but who was also the first celebrity to sign up with Twitter and who is so technologically creative that she is regularly asked to be on panels at conferences educating the entertainment industry on the practical application of multiple new digital platforms. Her efforts were awarded with the Gravity Summit Excellence in Social Media/Entertainment Award in 2011. True Blood? True Geek! 

Originally from Joliet, Illinois, Janina now makes her home in Hollywood.
