Chelsea....
Vibrant, bubbly and smart are just a few words to
describe teen actress Chelsea Makela who can next be seen as a co-lead
in the spoof movie,"Dance Flick" for Paramount Pictures (May 22 2009).
The comedy is about a rich suburban white girl and her friends who get
tangled up in misadventures. In the film, Chelsea plays “Tracy” one of
the friends in the bunch, who is perky and upbeat, but doesn’t have
very much street smarts and tends to land herself in a quandary of
mishaps. The film is directed by Damien Wayans.
Barely in Los Angeles a year, this project is Chelsea’s very first paying job as an actress…Not Bad!
Born in Northern California in a small agricultural town called
Brentwood, Chelsea knew in the 5th grade that she wanted to act when
she landed a part in the school play. Her parents were so supportive
that her mother would drive her into San Francisco every weekend for
acting classes. Also in high school, Chelsea joined a touring choir
that performed around the nation, and one of her highlighted moments in
life, was their performance in New York’s famed Carnegie Hall. There
was no doubt that Chelsea had the acting bug and that her next journey
would be Los Angeles to live out her dream!
Chelsea tackles her budding acting career with professionalism far
beyond her years. Industry professionals describe her as an
exceptional energy to have around with a great sense of humor and
ability to improv on the spot. Her ability to go from comedy to drama
with her acting has quickly jump started her new career in Hollywood.
When she is not working Chelsea loves coaching her swim team, playing
piano, writing and participating in charitable companies that aid the
community. She is also very conscious about the environment and being
as Green as she can be.
Chelsea currently resides in Los Angeles.
