Ms. Benz shares some of her fitness travel tips with MOST Fitness Magazine. Growing up in a small suburb of Pittsburg, Julie with her brother and sister would travel north to Detroit Michigan to ice skating training. The siblings grew up on the ice, learning about discipline and commitment when working toward a goal. Julie was a very successful ice skater too. She was once ranked 12th in the United States. She ultimately retired from the rink and set her sights on acting. The lessons she learned from ice skating easily transferred to her new passion and Julie was acting professionally while still at Tisch School of the Arts. Her acting career started with a role in the movie As Good As It Gets stepping in front of the camera with three Academy Award Winners, Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt and Cuba Gooding Jr. Julie went on to star in Showtime%u2019s Dexter as his wife and she now stars in SyFy%u2019s Defiance as Sheriff Amanda Rosewater. Her latest project is the movie Circle. Putting work aside, Julie spends time with her husband of three years, Rich Orosco. She loves to cook, excise and enjoys others in her field, binge watching her favorite TV series.By: Denise Smithwww.MOSTmag.com || FITNESS MAG A ZINE || 21
