Cassandra Church - Biography

Cassandra Church was born to Donna and David Church at Homestead Air Force base, Florida. From an early age, Cassandra showed promise as an actor and singer, and decided never to let her rootless existence moving from base to base keep her from her passion for performing.

In Bitburg, Germany, at age 5, Cassandra began to learn the arts of dance and martial arts, and by the time they moved to Virginia at age 8, she was competing in local talent shows, flexing her vocal chords, and lending her voice to musical theater. When her family moved back to Florida at the age of 11, Cassandra enrolled in Orange Grove Middle Magnet School of the Performing Arts, where she began fine-tuning her skills, got her first agent, and started learning the "business" side of "show business". But they weren't done moving yet. At age 13, they moved to England, the theater capital of the world. There, Cassandra studied Shakespeare and Dance, took acting classes at Arts Ed in London, and was cast in several Theater Royal productions in Bury St Edmunds. Upon graduating from RAF Lakenheath American High School early, at age 17, Cassandra auditioned for, and was accepted into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, in New York City. Despite receiving an early scholarship to the esteemed academy, her family could not afford to send her to the school in NYC, so Cassandra packed her bags and moved, again, this time to Colorado Springs, Colorado. There, she trained to be and Esthetician while working in Denver on the weekends as a CJ for ManiaTV! One year and a diploma later, she packed her bags and made her final move, to Los Angeles, California, to attend Cinema Makeup School.

6 years later, Cassandra still resides in Los Angeles, and has segued her makeup artistry skills into a career as an actress, singer and model. Represented by Alex Fox at C.E.S.D for the last 5 years, she has appeared in several commercials and indie horror films, music videos such as My Chemical Romance's "I Don't Love You", and most notably (and ironically), played Ginny the makeup artist on Beverly Hills: 90210. She is also lead singer in band, Sing Orpheus, recently signed to Dilettante Recordings, and performs at venues across the country along side her fiancé, Jeffrey Sebelia, winner of Project Runway, Season 3, and bass player in the band.
