Gwenfair has a wealth of experience as an actor on screen, in addition to her extensive work as a stage and voice actor. She is passionate about exploring the depths of her characters, and loves the challenge of bringing them to life on screen, creating nuanced, believable characters. She started working in television early in her career, and prior to being based in New York, she appeared regularly on television, portraying a variety of characters as series regular, recurring, and guest roles in multiple seasons of comedy and drama series’, whilst also appearing in independent film and working as an on camera presenter.

In New York, Gwenfair played the female lead in 'Gods Gift', a contender in The Academy Awards Best Live Action Short Film Category', alongside Frank Pellegrino and Max Kellerman. In the dramatic film, which explores the relationship between celebrities and their fans, Gwenfair portrayed Dr Jenkins, a trauma surgeon, who enacts her revenge against a baseball star.

She also played the female lead in 'Tywallt Inc' (Pouring Ink), a singular drama for S4C, where she portrayed the loving wife of a writer who lost his creative inspiration, which then became responsible for her grisly demise.

Amid Gwenfair's favourite series regular roles, was her portrayal of investigative journalist and radio producer Leanne Prys in the Welsh language daily soap opera 'Pobl y Cwm' (People of the Valley), Wales' longest running television drama, produced by the BBC for S4C. She enjoyed portraying the ambitious character, and the fast paced nature of working on the long running drama, with the opportunity to develop her character over an extended period of time, whilst participating in dramatic, poignant and lighthearted storylines, in the studio and on location.

Gwenfair enjoyed the opportunity of using her comedic ability on television, when she portrayed series regular/female lead Megan in two seasons of the Welsh situation comedy 'Hafod Haidd' (Barley Farm) for S4C. She loved playing the spikey daughter of the forever scheming farming family who lived in squalor, filmed on location on a farm, and on a studio set. Gwenfair's daily preparation for the role included having her appendages, face and neck covered in a brown clay mixture to replicate dirt, her teeth yellowed and her hair matted, before climbing into her wardrobe of dirty, torn clothes, and a pair of wellingtons.

She has also appeared in various television series as recurring characters and guest roles. Amongst Gwenfair's favourite guest roles was in an episode of a weekly medical drama on S4C, where she portrayed a disagreeable business executive on an outdoors training course, whose group was stalked by a gunman. She enjoyed the physical challenges of the story, which required her and her fellow actors to trek in the forest, crossed a river on a rope, and took refuge in various locations in the undergrowth to create the fearful circumstances whilst being pursued.

In addition to her screen acting experience, Gwenfair has also enjoyed working as a television studio and on location presenter, a role which has been well suited to her interest in people and ability to think on her feet. In New York, she wrote and presented theater reviews on a TV pilot for the City of New York, as well as writing and presenting a 'Wales Week New York' guide for the Welsh Government, New York. Her first television contract was as a presenter on a children's program on S4C, followed by The Wrap' arts and magazine program, for BBC Choice 'where she interviewed artists from various genres about their careers.
