A native to Orange County, California, Camille first got the acting bug at the age of thirteen, when she was watching an episode of the teen classic "My So Called Life." The episode affected her so much; she knew that she wanted to be able to affect people like that someday as well. Camille began auditioning for school plays in high school and was a leader in her drama class, where she won numerous awards. When she was able to get her license at 16, she began driving to Los Angeles from the O.C., to attend professional acting classes. Her hard work paid off and by her 18th year, Camille went on her first real acting audition for the Oakland A's commercial and booked it. Since then, this 22 year old has never looked back!However, this promising young talent has proven her tenacity both onstage and off. Camille completed her Economics and Theater studies at U.C. Berkeley in just six semesters, while concurrently managing to build the foundations of a professional acting career. In addition, Camille was selected by Cannes and Oscar-winning director Adam Davidson to appear in Naked TV, an innovative staged pilot series co-produced by Fox and the prestigious Naked Angels Theatre Company, sharing the bill with such talents as Melissa Joan Hart. She has appeared on the WB's cult favorite Angel and the Fox hit The O.C., for which she was featured in Elle Girl magazine.
