Casimere Jollette
- Actress
Tiny Pretty Things (2020), Netflix's original YA drama series stars Casimere, as Bette, a ruthlessly perfect, supremely confident, ambitious "music box ballerina." Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Casimere started dancing at the age of three and modeling with Ford Models at the age of seven. In her early teens, she was discovered when acting coach, Lisa Morgan, rented space at her mom's dance studio.
She was a competitive dancer and national championship winner throughout her childhood studying every style of dance. At the age of 12, Casimere realized her true passion was ballet and began intense training under the guidance of Ballet Mistress, Sherry Moray, also spending summers with Chicago's Joffrey Ballet and American Ballet Theatre in New York City. Her extensive ballet and acting training (in addition to traveling back and forth from Chicago to Los Angeles) led her to online schooling throughout her high school years. During her last year of competing in dance, she won first place overall in the contemporary division at the prestigious Youth America Grand Prix in Chicago.
Her first guest appearance (2014) was on the hit TV show, "Chicago P.D.". In (2015), her acting career began to blossom after she landed the lead role as Linz, a social outcast, in "Guidance" on Hulu along side Michele Trachtenberg.
At nineteen, Casimere moved permanently to Los Angeles for her craft. Her first commercial (2017), the "T-Mobile" bad babysitter showed her true dry sense of humor and quick wit. Since then Casimere has appeared in numerous dance commercials including "SK-II" cosmetics, working with Sia's renown dance choreographer, Ryan Heffington, as well as international commercials for "Jockey" underwear, dance campaigns for "Opening Ceremony" and "Webtoons" for google/apple.
In (2017) she starred as the unattainable, Natalie, in the family feature film, "F.R.E.D.I." on Netflix. Casimere also guest starred (2018) in "Code Black" opposite Marcia Gay Harden and Rob Lowe and (2019) Bravo's "Dirty John" with Eric Bana and Julia Garner. (2019) She appeared as a ballet dancer on NBC drama "This Is Us."
Casimere is of French, Lithuanian and Italian descent. Her father is an engineer and business entrepreneur from Worcester, Massachusetts; her mother is an interior designer, author, and former Chicago Bears Cheerleader; and her brother, Ralphie, a trained classical pianist, works at Capitol Records in Los Angeles.
