Charlie Kersh

Charlize "Charlie" Kersh was born in Hanoi, Vietnam, adopted by her American parents Kevin and Nancy Kersh, and moved to the United States. Her father served as a military officer and her mother worked as a nurse. Charlie is an accomplished actor, singer and dancer. She's known for finding the funny in comedic roles, bringing realism to dramatic roles and for her hard work ethic. Forever grateful for opportunities, she has a gift of lifting others up and making their day brighter. Charlie has always been outgoing, light-hearted and easy in conversation. At age five, she asked to attend the EXPO talent event in Dallas, Texas; and, from there, was invited to New York City. Within months of her arrival, Charlie signed with Abrams Artists Agency and booked several commercials as well as a print campaign for H&M retail clothing stores. After Charlie saw her first Broadway show, "Mama Mia," she was immediately smitten with musical theater. She played supporting roles at the Waterfront Theater in "The Wizard of Oz Jr.," "The Little Mermaid Jr.," and "Shrek Jr." Two days after her ninth birthday, she was cast as Lavender in Broadway's national tour of "Matilda the Musical" to stellar reviews. Charlie was cast in Showtime's Happyish (2015) opposite Kathryn Hahn and as a guest star in LunchtimeTV's Clique Wars (2014). Originally appearing as a guest star in BatteryPop's "Square Off" web series, she was asked to return in her own series, "Charlie Freaks Out." Her love for TV/film brought her out to the LA market where she's quickly being recognized as an up and coming talent, making a name for herself as a sought-after artist. Charlie augments her free time with choreographing her own dance routines and trains in Taekwondo and acrobatics. She enjoys recreational horseback riding, swimming and riding her scooter. Charlie lives with her parents and her brother, John.
