Daisy Pareja(I)
- Actress
Daisy's latest film credit is the romantic-comedy, Divine Influencer, 2023.
She is the co-founder of Actors Army, a community of working actors and filmmakers from Atlanta to New York who produce their own content. They hosted two film festivals in 2022, where they showcased various shorts and premiered two films they produced.
Daisy started as a TV news reporter in San Francisco, California when a producer called her to be in a commercial. She refused. It was too good to be true, but 30 seconds later, she came to her senses. That's when her show biz passion began.
She moved to Atlanta to work as a producer for CNN En Español's 24-hour newscast abandoning any hopes of a career in entertainment, after all, she was moving further away from Hollywood. Soon after, she got married and had children.
In her free time from the newsroom's hustle and bustle, she quickly got representation and worked in commercials and voice-overs. The South was eager to add a Ms. Daisy from Bolivia to its roster, exotic talent who spoke two languages!
Then, in a twist of fate, "Hollywood moved to Georgia" due to tax incentives and Daisy got her first break in the feature film, Anchorman 2 alongside Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate. She crossed-over to acting full-time, enrolled in classes and continues to train in the craft. She also works with her dialect coach and mentor on a regular basis. Daisy is also a writer and plans to direct.
