Charlie Ray was born and raised in New York City. Before ever having acted professionally, her aunt saw an ad in the newspaper for a nation-wide, open casting call for Little Manhattan (2005). After sending in a photo on a whim, Charlie was called in for an audition, and landed her feature film debut, starring along side Josh Hutcherson, Cynthia Nixon and Bradley Whitford.
While she continued working professionally, guest starring in an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999) and booking a series regular role in the CBS pilot, Company Town (2006) , Charlie remained committed to completing high school in New York. With her primary focus on education and dedication to studying the craft, she went on to graduate magna cum laude from Northwestern University with a BA in Theatre. Charlie has moved back to New York to resume her acting career full-time. Recent work includes guest appearances on Comedy Central’s Inside Amy Schumer (2013).
