My guest speaker Actress/Producer Cassandra Raphael She was born in Boston ,Massachusetts while attending the Lords Academy School at the age of 5, she discoverd they were having auditions for Goldie Locks and the Three Bears, she auditioned, and booked the role of Mama Bear. That is where Cassandra caught the acting bug. She then booked a role in every school play, including Miss Hannigan, where the director closed auditions right after she came in, because she booked the role on the spot. At the age of 15 years old she received her first agent, and then began booking commercials, print work, fashion shows and films. Her first film was In Our House where she played the lead and received acclaim for her performance. Cassandra then went on to book the film Karmaloop and Soul Sister. After graduating Northeastern University, she decided to move to Los Angeles where she booked commercials and films such as The Next One, Mick and Jenny, Assassin Behind the Glass, and Director Mark Ridely’s film The Board. Cassandra started the production company, C.Raphael Productions. The company went on to produce Life in LA, The 60 Second Project, A Raisin in the Sun, and currently now producing the feature film A Broken Chain. We hear about all this and more on “Behind The Real”.
