Mollee Gray

Mollee Gray is an actress and dancer that has been in many different films including Teen Beach Movie 1 & 2, South 32, No Strings Attached and Double Daddy. Outside of acting, she was also a Top 8 finalist on Season 6 of SYTYCD. "I've loved acting ever since I can remember! What truly inspired me though, was being on set of High School Musical. I was a dancer in all three films and seeing all the actors first hand made me realize it was the career I wanted to pursue!"

She booked her first move at the age of 10. It was an LDS movie in Utah. "It was an incredible experience! Since I had to have a parent go onset for all my jobs until I was 18 years-old, I got to share so many of these amazing memories with my mom."

Then she booked her first big role in No Strings Attached in 2011 along side Ashton Kuther and Natalie Portman."My first scene I filmed was with Ashton Kutcher, and I was freaking out a little bit! He was so cool and funny during conversation, but the whole time I was thinking ?holy crap, I?m working alongside Ashton Kutcher!" In 2013, she played Giggles in the popular Disney Channel original ' Teen Beach Movie'. "I?ve loved all the projects I?ve worked on, but Teen Beach Movie has to be my favorite. We spent two months in beautiful Puerto Rico making memories as a cast!"

While building her resume as an actress she met dancer and choreographer Jeka Jane. They ended up getting married at Landing Spa and Resort in South Lake Tahoe, California. Their wedding was exclusively captured by People Magazine in 2017. "I literally enjoyed every single part. It was crazy because everyone told us ?you?ll fight a lot while planning a wedding,? but we didn?t at all. We made compromises, of course, but it was the

best time! I learned so many things about Jeka, and it made me fall in love so much more!" While were on the topic of wedding stuff, I asked her what her personal advice would be for new brides. "Be sure to take time for yourselves as newlyweds. If you need to go in the hallway alone for a minute, do it! It?s your day. Also, make time to go around and look at all the decorations at your reception! Appreciate the beauty all around you."

"I love the creative process of dance! The feeling of choreographing and releasing emotions you don?t know how to put into words!

Gray is a trained dancer and has been since the age of three. She became a contestant on season 6 of SYTYCD. "I love the creative process of dance! The feeling of choreographing and releasing emotions you don?t know how to put into words! I like Contemporary and Jazz Funk!" She was also a dancer on The Voice and AGT. She cited that her mentor and favorite dancer is Joey Dowling.

Mollee also has a background in music due to her mother being a singer. No matter what art she takes on she kills it and I couldn't have been more happier to interview her. Be sure to be on the look out for her new movie The Reliant. The Favorite is in select theaters now.
