بیوگرافی
Chelsea Rose Cook is a Los Angeles-based, multi-ethnic actress whose natural range as a cultural chameleon has made her equally at home leading a Lifetime thriller, anchoring a holiday romantic comedy, and carrying an emotionally complex independent film. Born with a storyteller's instincts and an adventurer's spirit, she has spent nearly a decade building a body of work that spans film, television, commercial campaigns, and emerging platforms, consistently landing at the center of the story.
Her most layered role to date is Yellow Broken Road, a feature film in which she carries the emotional core of the narrative across colliding timelines - a performance that spans grief, premonition, and the full weight of a love story. The film premiered in 2026 at Dances with Films in Los Angeles, a festival hailed by IndieWire as the premiere showcase of innovative independent cinema.
Cook's film and television credits reflect both her range and the trust placed in her by producers and networks. Her Lifetime work alone spans the full dramatic spectrum: she starred as lead protagonist opposite Vivica A. Fox and Jackée Harry in the romantic comedy The Christmas Campaign (2025), led the thriller Eat, Pray, Lie and the suspense feature Home Makeover Nightmare, and played lead antagonist across multiple features including Bad Nanny, Secret Life of the Surgeon's Wife, and Kidnapped in a Small Town. She also starred in the charity holiday rom-com A Heart Full of Hope, benefiting The Mendez National Institute of Transplantation Foundation.
On the television side, she appeared alongside Jensen Ackles and the late Eric Dane in the series Countdown, and played a lead antagonist in the Disney Star anthology Very Frightening Tales. Most recently, she made history as one of the lead actors in Unlikely Romances, Dhar Mann Studios' first-ever original episodic series and their exclusive launch title on Samsung TV Plus. She leads one of the premiere episodes opposite internationally acclaimed Indian actor Sooraj Ohri, known for his starring role in Prime Video's India Police Force. Cook can also be heard lending her voice to the Tribeca award-winning audio drama The Very Worst Thing That Could Happen.
In addition to her work in traditional film and television, Cook has stepped into the rapidly growing world of micro-dramas, and is doing so at the top. She has already led two projects for emerging media platform VertTV: Wicked Wives opposite Vivica A. Fox, directed by Aiko Lozar, whose film East Did Meet West was featured in the 2026 Cannes Emerging Filmmaker Showcase; and The Fixer, opposite acclaimed actor Michael Paré. Cook also leads Leaving Mr. Wrong for Mr. Right, directed by Hulu's Reasonable Doubt actress Tiffany Yvonne Cox in her directorial debut in the micro-drama space, which reached #1 on GammaTime within its debut month. GammaTime is the first premium micro-drama platform built for American audiences, founded by former Miramax CEO Bill Block and backed by $14 million in seed funding from investors including Alexis Ohanian, Kris Jenner, and Kim Kardashian.
Cook's commercial career has been equally prolific. She has served as the national spokesperson for Optimum, leading campaigns across New York, Toronto, and Miami, including a spot opposite Derek Jeter, and has starred in national campaigns for Secret Deodorant, Benefit Cosmetics, Zeposia, Inspire Sleep, and more.
Off-screen, Cook is as layered as the characters she plays. A graduate of the University of Miami with a BBA in entrepreneurship, Spanish, and marketing, she brings a rare combination of creative instinct and strategic thinking to everything she does. A lifelong dancer with training across multiple styles, she is also a PADI-certified scuba diver who first learned to dive in Bali and has since dived in Isla Mujeres, Mexico.
Cook has undergone tactical training through United Defense Tactical, including specialized firearm and combat training - a pursuit that speaks to the same physical fearlessness that has taken her to 35 countries across the globe, 10 of them solo. Whether she's zip-lining, snorkeling, or choreographing a performance, Cook approaches life the way she approaches a role: fully and without hesitation. She is also an avid writer with several screenplays in development, a self-described nature nerd with a lifelong obsession with animals, and a passionate advocate for solo travel as a form of self-discovery.
