interviews
Chelsea is an actress, director & writer from Los Angeles, California.
No stranger to storytelling, Chelsea's experience in film & tv over the last 20 years has been almost exclusively in front of the camera. Falling in love at a young age, with the magic of creating characters so deeply removed from her own experiences, and discovering the beauty of collaboration that can only be found on a film set.
She has developed a substantial acting career, appearing hit shows including:
Showtime’s SHAMELESS, Netflix drama 13 REASONS WHY, and FX's AMERICAN HORROR STORY. As well as guest starring roles on GREY'S ANATOMY, VEEP, THE GOOD DOCTOR, THE ROOKIE, NCIS, GOOD GIRLS and more.
Chelsea was nominated for Best Supporting Actress by the IFJA,
for her role in Anna Baumgarten's indie drama DISFLUENCY opposite Libe Barer (Sneaky Pete), Ariela Barer (How to Blow Up a Pipe Line) and Dylan Arnold (You, Oppenheimer).
In addition to acting, Chelsea has expanded her creative endeavors to include writing and directing. The first short film she directed is currently on the festival circuit, and she is in production on her first feature "The Aftertaste".
When she's not acting or directing, she can be found in Oregon helping to farm her family's vineyard! Spending time with her brother, sister-in-law, nieces and husband, growing Pinot Noir
and making wine at Eve West Vineyard.
