Born and raised in West Hartford, Connecticut, Marissa D'Onofrio's childhood was one in which her imagination, was indeed, her reality! From a very young age, every school play, musical and dance recital was an outlet for Marissa's captivating energy, carefree spirit, and outgoing personality. This trend carried over into her adult life and even after she attended Eckerd College and earned her degree in International Business and Anthropology, Marissa decided that she couldn't dream of pursuing any other career, than that of an actress. Today, besides being a proud member of the Screen Actor's Guild, Marissa's growing resume boasts several feature films, television pilots, a growing list of commercials and also years of experience as an on-air television host, for several national shopping channels. When Marissa is not on set, she is a devout foodie, wine lover and loves to be in the kitchen. (cooking and eating that is!) She also loves traveling, working out, and spending her free time with her dog, Ella!
