Jisaura Cardinale
- Actress
- Producer
- Stunts
Jisaura is a grounded, no-nonsense actor known for playing spirited survivors, lovable fighters, bold outsiders, and delightfully goofy troublemakers - characters fueled by grit, sass, humor, and heart. Born in New Zealand and raised traveling the world with her family's internationally renowned circus act, she learned early how to stand tall, fight for what's right, and laugh in the face of chaos - skills she now brings to the screen.
She speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese - bringing global energy, resilience, and attitude to every project. Her performances pull from 20 years of experience across theater, Shakespeare, improv, dance, and film, beginning with intensive training at Booker Visual and Performing Arts School where she earned her Performing Arts Diploma.
Her training includes on-camera audition technique (G Charles Wright Studios, Katt Shea), scene study and cold reading with Anthony Meindl, TV/film coaching with Kevin Sizemore, audiobook narration coaching with Elise Arsenault, a dubbing workshop with Andy Roth, and voiceover coaching with Mark Sussman and Susan Boyajian/Roger Scott. She has also completed commercial training with Killian's Commercial Workshop and Bill Coelius, along with stunt training including certification in handgun handling and tactical holster use (ITTS, two certificates earned), Muay Thai, kickboxing, archery, Tae Kwon Do, and Karate.
After moving to Los Angeles, she sharpened her on-camera skills further and expanded into film and TV work. Jisaura plays bold-hearted fighters, sharp-eyed outsiders, and spirited survivors - the ones who call it as they see it, roll their eyes at nonsense, and never back down from a fight worth having. While her physical training includes handgun handling, what sets her apart is her ability to blend toughness with a goofy, playful spirit - delivering both grit and laughs with the same energy.
Recent credits include: Powerpuff Girls: The Long Way Back (as Buttercup), Big Top Evil (as Casey), The Deal (Lead), The Alpha's Unwanted Bride (as Meredith Quinn), Pobre Diabla (Lead), Refugio (Lead), and Age of Stone & Sky (Lead).
