Marisa Sullivan

Bio provided by Wikipedia

Marisa Sullivan, a Chicago native, moved out to LA after studying in

France and attending University of Iowa, where she studied French and

Theatre. She knew she wanted to be an actress for as long as she can

remember and had won many lead roles in plays growing up. At the age of

19, she auditioned for MTV's "Wanna Be a VJ, too?" contest with

thousands of other hopefuls. She was selected as 1 of 12 finalists out

of 8,000 across the country and appeared on TRL, garnering some

nationwide publicity. Thinking those were pretty good odds to move

further, she continued her studies in LA, at the Joanne Baron/D.W.

Brown Studio with Elaine Williams, studying Meisner. Marisa has worked

on a few independent films, commercials, music videos thus far and has

made some television appearances on networks such as NBC, Fox News

Channel, E!, MTV and Spike TV. Marisa has been active around the LA

theatre scene, portraying Ginger from 'Casino' in the play 'Wiseguys'

and performing a lead role in 'Dark Side of the Moon', a visual

performance piece to Pink Floyd's album of the same name that got rave

reviews in the LA Times. She has also recently appeared in Ray Romano's

new sitcom, 'Men of a Certain Age'. She is currently freelancing for

In Touch Weekly magazine and for Image Locations, recently managing such

shoots such as Vogue with Rachel McAdams and Dior with Sharon Stone. She hopes to go further into the production world and has a show in the

works that she will be starring in! Ultimately she wants to be acting

and producing. Keep your eyes peeled for this larger than life

personality!
