Lauren Carlini

Lauren Maria Carlini is an Actor and Dancer, born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, the automotive capital of Canada. She is the eldest of 4 children and is very proud of her Italian heritage which has shaped her fun-loving and passionate character. Her compassion for others stems from the love she has for her twin brother who was born with a rare brain tumor and autistic tendencies. Lauren is a captivating performer who began singing and dancing at the young age of 3. At age 8, she was cast in Les Miserables, marking her stage debut and the beginning of her musical theatre journey. She has also had the joy of performing in The Addams Family, Cats, Catch Me If You Can, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The discipline and perseverance that Lauren has gained through her many years of dance training have helped her to build a strong work ethic which she brings to each film project she is blessed to work on. Lauren's first film audition was in January 2017 where she was cast with a lead role. It was an experience she will always cherish as it also paved the way for castings in several other short films, TV Series and 2 feature films, all within less than a year's time. She's often been told that "her positive spirit and energy are contagious and she is a joy to work with." It is her lifelong goal to use her God given gifts to inspire and bring hope and joy to her audience. Lauren is a graduate of AMTC (Actors, Models, Talent for Christ) and is a 2nd year student at Wayne State University in Michigan, working on a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a Bachelor of Science in Dance. She continues to strive for excellence in her studies just as she does in her professional career. She is a Dean's List scholar and was chosen to be a Wayne State Ambassador for Canadian students. Lauren continues to encourage underprivileged children and those with exceptionalities to believe in their dreams through her Non-For-Profit Organization - Dance to Inspire.
