Ashley Grishby
- Actress
Ashley "CheiChei" Grishby was born in Baton Rouge, La. When she was 2
years old, she and her family moved to Newport News, Virginia. While
living in Virginia, Cheichei discovered an interest in performing arts
and dance. Her mother decided to put her in ballet and acting classes
at age 5, but after a while CheiChei decided that she only wanted to
take acting, so she dropped ballet. While in school, she entered in
every play and performing arts project, developing her skills and
loving her talents. It all came to an end when her mother and
step-father divorced and they moved back to Baton Rouge. She really
didn't fit in with the children, so she decided to give up on her
talents. Once she made 15, she knew she wanted to get back into acting.
She practiced on her own because she didn't want to get involved at
school, and after a while she was able to rebuild what she had been
wanting to do since she was 5. Her mother didn't really want her to get
involved with professional acting at her age, so CheiChei had to wait
until she made 18 to take her career to the next level. She moved from
Baton Rouge to Lafayette to attend college and being her acting career.
Her freshman year she auditioned for the role of Katie in Quantum
Apocolypse, and found out she got the part on her birthday. A few
months after this movie, the same movie company called her and asked if
she would like to be apart of their current project, Wolvesbayne. She
happily accepted. In 2009, her boyfriend submitted to be in the movie
Video Girl. He was selected to be in the movie, and she couldn't be
more excited, so she went with him to the set. Hours after they
arrived, she decided that she was going to leave the set and bumped
into one of the directors in the parking lot. He asked her if she was
apart of the movie, and she replied no, and that's when he asked her if
she would like to be. In shock, she immediately said yes, and got to be
in the movie Video Girl. She was able to meet Meagan Good, Ty Hodges,
and Detari.
