Britni Raine
- Actress
Described by filmmakers Sean Hackett & Fredrick Thornton, Britni has "a rare talent of mixing part of (her) own soul and imagining a character beyond (the) reference material-*maybe* you get 1 Britni Raine out of every 100 auditions."
Of Irish, Swedish, English, and Seminole descent, Britni was born to two Military parents, moving from place to place across the country for most of her childhood, before settling in a small Chicagoland suburb.
At age nine, she would be cast as the Scarecrow in a production of "The Wizard of Oz", and fall madly in love with acting. Soon thereafter, she began studying voice and acting in the city seriously, and it would only be a few short years before Britni would land her first professional role in David Huzieran's short "Ordinary World", as the heartless mean girl Stacey, after the director saw her heading to the extra's holding and auditioned her on the spot. Shortly after relocating to Los Angeles, she would play the distraught, reckless party girl in Marttie Go's "High School, I Hate You", and be given the opportunity to study with Erica Daniels of Steppenwolf Theatre, Adam Belcuore of The Goodman Theatre, and Bob Mason of The Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, requiring her to briefly move back to The Windy City. From then on, Britni would be the first to workshop the character of Zoe in broadway's Tony-nominated "Airline Highway", under the direction of Tony award winner Joe Mantello, would go on to win the recurring bad-influence, druggie Jenna on ABC's "Army Wives", the comedic role of Kianna, in Showtime's "Shameless", and star in the award-winning series "Reckless Juliets", on Amazon.
Now permanently based in Los Angeles, Britni not only earned BEST ACTRESS from the FirstGlance Film Festival for her breakout role in "Reckless Juliets", but recently completed a lead role in the upcoming feature "Survival" (executive produced by Leah Daniels Butler-slated to premiere in 2023) and is presently attached to several other film projects.
Additionally, Britni is currently writing and starring in her first film, "Domino", set to finish filming by Winter 2023.
