Lisa Marie Peranio decided to pursue an acting career in January 2018 after being featured in the music video “Rainy Days” by Forever October.  Her first experience in a music video was in Farewell to Fear’s “Diamonds” in 2013.  Lisa’s latest credit was the role of “Jodi” in the short film “The Vanishing”, which won two awards for the New Orleans 48-hour film project in 2018. 

​

Lisa’s love for performing began in early childhood as she had a natural talent in dance. She is a former American All-Star Dancer who performed for various events, such as Superbowl XXIII in Miami, Florida. She also grew up competing in pageants which led her to modeling opportunities which she continues to do for local photographers today.  Lisa also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Southeastern Louisiana University. After spending most of her life in B2B sales, she began acting training in April 2018.  She has taken classes taught by Nicole Barre-Breaux, Billy Slaughter, Rachel Groves, and Jim Gleason.  She has studied and continues her training in scene work, character analysis, improvisation, monologues, commercials, interview and audition techniques.  

 

Besides several television and film projects, Lisa has been seen on The First and the upcoming You-Tube series, On Becoming a God in Central Florida.  She has also made appearances in two upcoming movies, The Dirt and Walkway Joe, that are scheduled to release in 2019. She was nominated and won the Background Actor’s Guild award “New to the Biz” for her work on local projects in 2018.
 

Lisa loves spending time with her family and enjoys traveling, modeling, fashion, costume design, makeup art, and interior decorating. Although she is often cast as an upper-class business woman, she has a witty personality made for comedy.   However, her ultimate desire is to dive into an edgy, dark character on a future season of American Horror Story.   She is grateful for the opportunity to live her passion and looks forward to what the future will bring!
