Worked at a record label in her twenties.
• “I love movies. I love movies and I love doing films. I love being able to play different characters. I love the atmosphere of a set when you come together for a film because usually you are on location somewhere you get into this instant sort of bonding family mode. It’s a really special experience; but mostly because I’m just generally a film fan. I think I prefer doing film. I do like the stability of TV. I’d like to be able to go top work everyday not something that you miss that in films because it’s a longer downtime between jobs. For now, I don’t have a family. I’m not having kids anytime soon and anything like that so I prefer to do the film thing because I have the freedom to do so and that’s what I’m really passionate about.”

Her mother is former actress Joanna Shimkus and her father, whom she is named after is legendary Oscar-winning screen performer Sidney Poiter. Sydney grew up in L.A. and lived a relatively normal childhood. She is the youngest of six girls that included older sister Anika and four half-sisters -Pamela, Sherri, Gina and Beverly Poitier. It wasn’t until she applied for college she embraced interest in a proffesional acting career. Although her actor parents were supportive, they always encouraged Sydney to have some sort of backup plan. Sydney attended and later graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. There she studied drama, where the mere mention of her famous name had classmates humorously thinking her father had enrolled. Poitier performed in various stage productions, including a memorable production of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, in which she played the brutalized daughter Lavinia. Following graduation, Poitier continued honing her craft at the Stella Adler Conservatory.

What is a Grindhouse?
“Grind House” – noun – A downtown movie theater – in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace of the ’30s and ’40s – known for “grinding out” non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies. From groundbreaking directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez comes the ultimate film experience: a double-bill of thrillers that will recall both filmmakers’ favorite exploitation films. Grindhouse will be presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. Tarantino’s film, Death Proof, is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while Rodriguez’s film explores an alien world eerily familiar to ours in Planet Terror. Welcome to the Grindhouse – it’ll tear you in two!

This two-hour movie event, based on the iconic 1980′s hit television series, stars Justin Bruening, Deanna Russo, Sydney Tamiia Poitier and Bruce Davison. In addition, David Hasselhoff – who starred in the popular lead role as Michael Knight for four seasons during the original series’ run, returns as the same character during a special guest-star appearance.
As the original story resumes, the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is absolutely the coolest car ever created: its supercomputer capable of hacking almost any system; its weapons systems efficient; and its body — thanks to its creator’s work and nanotechnology – is capable of actually shifting shape and color. Plus, its artificial intelligence makes it the ideal good cop partner: logical, precise and possessing infinite knowledge. It is the ultimate car – and someone will be willing to do anything to obtain it.
