Biography

Ashley Rae was born in Newport Beach, California. At two-years of age she moved to the "Big Sky Country" with her parents. Growing up in Butte, Montana (Home of Evel Knievel) created a wholesome and unique perspective of the world. This small town taught her the importance of authenticity, transparency, hard work, and caring for others. She is committed to staying true to these "Montana" roots in everything she does.

Ashley has always been perceived as somewhat of an introvert when she first meets people. However, they soon realize that this introvert is very confident in who she is and makes everyone around her feel encouraged and respected.

Ashley started her acting journey at the age of seven. Although she was extremely nervous before her first few performances, she loved it. She has now performed in over 50 productions during the past eleven years. Some of her favorite roles were Annelle (Steel Magnolias), Jovie (Elf) and Katherine (Newsies).

Ashley was only fourteen when she was cast as Annelle. It was a huge challenge to play the part of such a complicated character while being the only non-adult in the entire cast. The role of Annelle made Ashley realize that she wanted to pursue acting as a career. She also really enjoyed playing Jovie and Katherine in the productions of Elf and Newsies. Both of these roles helped bring her sarcastic yet lovable personality to life.

In 2017 she was cast in her first films as Lacey in The Spookies and Katy in The Swindle. Her most recent role was as the rebellious Zoe Richardson in the Investigators: When Truth Calls. In 2018 she signed with agent Jean Selig Wenger of Treasure Coast Talent Agency. Ashley Rae is really enjoying her journey and looks forward to acting until at least the age of 102!
