Charlene Geisler

Charlene Geisler is a German-American actress, who was born in Newport Beach to Annette Geisler, a travel agent, and Dean Geisler, an aircraft mechanic. Due to her mother's German heritage, she is a dual citizen of the US and the European Union, and speaks German fluently. She began acting at the age of 6. Her father worked part-time as background on the HBO show Deadwood, and after seeing him on TV at home, decided she wanted to be a part of that world. Charlene started out in background, but after seeing some kids got to talk and she didn't, she told her mother she wanted to have proper speaking roles. She decided she wanted to take the plunge and act professionally. Shortly after, her first speaking role was in a short film drama called 'Let's Talk About Child Abuse', in which a 7 year old girl is testifying in court against her abusive step-father. After that, she signed with her first manager, who helped her find representation at BBA at 8 years old. She has been with BBA since then, and is now in the adult department. Her mother was one of her biggest supporters, constantly driving Charlene to auditions and helping her learn lines. Growing up, she had an acute interest in space and the study of the universe, a curiosity nurtured by her father; her grandparents even gave her a high-powered telescope for Christmas. To this day, Charlene maintains that if she was not an actor, she would be an astrophysicist. She is now an actress and producer who is known for her varied credentials in TV and film. She has worked on the STARZ! series 'Counterpart', CBS series 'NCIS', and had a role in Warner Brothers' film 'The Hangover'. Charlene also produced and recurred in 'Child of the 70s', an homage to the sitcoms of the '70s starring Michael Vacarro, and Susan Olsen (The Brady Bunch), along with Ted Lange (Love Boat), Geri Jewell (Deadwood), and Kat Kramer (Little Fockers). Now, Charlene plans to continue producing as well as act, and has even written several screenplays and short films she plans to adapt in the future. Charlene is based in Los Angeles, with her partner Jacob and their two cats, Roxy and Ginger. She spends most of her free time reading fantasy series, playing piano, writing, and spending time with her friends.
