ChiffonaRay, a native of Harrisburg Pennsylvania, embarked on her acting journey in her hometown when two aspiring filmmakers spotted her in a restaurant and approached her with an exciting proposition: "Hey, would you like to be in a movie?" Without hesitation, she eagerly accepted the offer and completed filming just days later. Growing up, ChiffonaRay always admired Rudy Huxtable and yearned to grace the screen herself. However, coming from a small town, she never believed that television was within her reach. That all changed when two local filmmakers opened her eyes to the endless possibilities.
ChiffonaRay, also known as Chiffona Thompson, was determined to pursue her passion and soon found herself studying the craft at a local Harrisburg theater. Her dedication paid off as she began landing lead roles in independent films and stage plays, both locally and beyond. Seeking further growth, she decided to pursue her studies in New York. However, the frequent trips back and forth took a toll on her finances. When she finally secured a role in a New York stage play, she made the bold decision to stay in the city for nearly a year, eventually relocating with her children to Atlanta. Since then, she has successfully secured numerous television roles and now boasts acting representation in all four major markets: Atlanta, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Throughout her journey, ChiffonaRay has also gained valuable knowledge and experience behind the scenes, delving into various aspects of production from pre- to post-production. This comprehensive understanding has not only made her a better actress but has also solidified her love for being in front of the camera.
While acting remains her primary occupation, ChiffonaRay is also deeply passionate about health and wellness. She holds certifications in yoga, massage therapy, nutrition, and meditation, and actively practices these disciplines. In her leisure time, she cherishes moments spent with her family, embarks on adventures with friends, or indulges in solo vacations, all while immersing herself in the world of audio books.
ChiffonaRay attributes her down-to-earth personality, love for life, and genuine connection with people to her hometown roots. These qualities have been instrumental in creating relatable and unique characters throughout her career. When asked to summarize her unwavering passion for film and television, she simply states, "Through God, acting saved my life!"
