Myla Leigh
- Actress
Myla Leigh Chenoa was born on January 1, 1979 and adopted at three
months old in Phoenix, Arizona. She started acting at age fourteen in a
stage production of "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe". A role
that had her portraying a cockney accent in the role of Mr. Beaver in
which she also sang and danced. Myla began to blossom at that time into
a beautiful young girl which landed her quite a bit of modeling work.
Though known for her beauty, body and natural acting talent, few know
of her independent film work in which her versatility and talent shine
playing characters such as "Mary Esther Hall", who goes from 'plain
jane' to terrifying in appearance as an insane girl pushed over the
edge in "Sanity", an experimental short that was almost complete improv
and one take only. Or as an almost plastic appearing reporter trying to
keep her cool as she's called in at the last minute to report gruesome
murders in "A Shadow in the Woods". Myla is starting to get notice for
her natural ability beyond her looks for her seemingly never ending
supply of talent from singing and dancing to her amazing raw
improvisational skills that bring depth to every character she plays.
"Give me a character and I will become them." she has been quoted as
saying when asked about her multitude of roles she's played. She's been
compared to Angelina Jolie for her beauty and talent, don't be
surprised if you see her name in a blockbuster film soon.
