Chas Dewey(1984-2005)
- Actor
The second son of a police officer and an ex-cheerleader for the
Washington Redskins, among other things, Chas Dewey grew up modeling
for GAP Kids and Osh Kosch Bigosh alongside his twin brother, Chris.
After taking classes in dance, acting, and singing with Linda Townsend
Management in Maryland, Chas went on to become one of the youngest
performers for The Shakespeare Theatre Company at the Langsburg
Theatre, as well as the Carter Baron Ampitheatre. He soon moved to
opera, alongside his brother, in five operas (four at the Kennedy
Center, one at the Wolf Trap), then decided to move up to Burbank,
California, in the summer of 1995. His experience has grown since then,
having done training with the Larry Moss Actors' Studio, Rick Walters
at Actor's Theatre Craft, Mary McCusker for private coaching, and, most
recently, is studying at Ivana Chubbuck's Studios. After several guest
appearances on TV and a few national commercials, he is currently
pursuing a career in music as a composer/ guitarist/ vocalist. Having
graduated from high school in 2002 from Hollywood Magnet/ Performing
Arts High School, he is interested in applying for private film
colleges in the area so that he might take a shot at directing for
film.
