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!
