Melody Chase

Melody Chase grew up in San Antonio, TX and the outskirts. It became very evident from the time she could walk and talk, that performing to an audience, no matter how big or small, came naturally. She played her first role in elementary school as Tweedle Dee, in "Alice in Wonderland". Although she really wanted the role of Alice, her teacher could clearly see she was more of a comedian. She continued performing in plays all the way through high school, with her most notable roles being Rizzo in "Grease" and then the role of Mommy in Edward Albee's, "The Sandbox", where she won her first award in a UIL competition. Several years later, she decided to walk unannounced into a well known agency in Austin, TX. They were so impressed by her tenacity, charm and personality, the contract was signed that day.

Dramatic, comedic and everything in between, Ms. Chase is certainly up for the challenge. She has played a wide range of roles in commercials, short and independent films, television and feature films - from the faithful wife and mother in "The Association", "Oil Storm", "Beneath The Darkness" and "A Scanner Darkly", to the unfaithful and smarmy Queen Wendy in "Disenchanted".

"Oil Storm" aired on FX, June 5, 2005. When hurricane Katrina occurred only weeks later, the intense correlation left her uneasy and compelled to become proactive. Since then, she has spoken publicly on behalf of the movie, with ASPO-USA (Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas) regarding issues surrounding Peak Oil.
