Kelsey Wedeen
Birthname: Kelsey Ann Wedeen
Bio: Kelsey Wedeen was born in San Francisco, California, but grew up in Los Angeles. She is the youngest of four girls in her family and the granddaughter of Frances Kavanaugh, one of "Old Hollywood's" biggest western screenwriters. Kelsey spent the majority of her youth in the gymnasium, training to be an Olympic gymnast, but she discovered her real passion when she was picked out by talent scouts to star in a Coca-cola commercial opposite the famous gymnastics coach, Bela Karolyi, and simultaneously got cast as "Juliet" in her Junior High school's production of "Romeo and Juliet." She began to dedicate her life to studying the craft of acting, studying in both New York and Los Angeles. She began working with some of Los Angeles' top small theaters, the Theatre of NOTE and Sacred Fools Theater, where she appeared in several critically acclaimed plays such as "Darkness" which won her an L.A. weekly award, "The Poseidon Adventure, the Musical!", "What the Butler Saw" and "A Mulholland Christmas Carol" which received a "Best Comedy Ensemble" award from L.A. Weekly while also touring throughout California. Her film career began with a lead in a horror movie called Detour (2003) (V), in which she played a sardonic, wise cracking, goth teenager. After proving her weight as a "scream queen" she went on to book roles in several other horror films, such as the preacher's daughter in Curse of the Forty-Niner (2002)_ where she played opposite Jeff Conaway, Vernon Wells, and Karen Black, and Lionsgate's Lake Dead (2007) where she played the cute, tomboyish, lead character, "Kelli." She was finally able to branch out into comedy when she booked a small role as an Irish bridesmaid in "The Wedding Crashers" and then went on to star in the hilarious, "Scream of the Bikini." Kelsey also appeared as the lead in an unsold television pilot called "Bel Air Diaries", did improv on an episode of "Who's Line is it Anyway," and starred in several ultra low budget independent films and shorts such as "Karma Chameleons," "Blonde," and her most recent indie-drama, "Konflooent" which debuted at the Cannes Film festival in 2008.
