Andrea Carlisle was born in Marseille in the south of France. The siren call of acting captured this coastal Mediterranean early in life. He began studying the craft and soon was auditioning. Not satisfied to wait for opportunity to come to him he wrote and produced his own television pilot. He also found every opportunity to be on set even if it required defying death or injury from inept directors or nearly drowning in coconut milk used as an effect for a hoard of zombies. Then came the big move, off to LA and Santa Monica's LA Performing Arts Conservatory. So far it's going pretty well. He rises early to apply for any project that will give him more experience on an American set; background, student films, commercials, web series, you name it. And so far it has borne fruit including dancing in a commercial aired on the GRAMMYs, tearfully mourning a lost wife in one of southern California's biggest sound stages, and exuberantly inhaling a Burger King sandwich for a viral campaign were he will be featured by the company online and hopefully TV as well. He also continues the all-important practice of not just waiting for opportunity to come knocking. Any downtime is devoted to the writing and producing of his own short film that has already been received warmly at readings and seems destined for the festival circuit. Representatives have begun reaching out, his journey is just beginning. So perhaps the moral of the story is that this town rewards perseverance. It also rewards an absence of self-doubt and a willingness to be a fool, or ugly-cry, or get ketchup in the upholstery. Everyone has their personal obstacles, and each requires a different set of solutions. Andrea has shown, and continues to show, that the answers are there as long as one is willing to look. Hide
