Shae Vianzon grew up in Park Hill, a dynamic and vibrant community of Denver, Colorado, which thrived on diversity and fostered appreciation of the arts and individual expression. Shae graduated from East High School, previously attended by Hattie McDaniel, the first African-American to win an Oscar. Amongst other greats that walked the halls of East High School are Douglas Fairbanks, Harold Lloyd, Antoinette Perry, Pam Grier, Don Cheadle and the fellow classmate TJ Miller. Inspired and empowered by her environment, Shae pursued her acting dreams from a young age, taking active part in the schools drama classes, speech programs and ArtStreet (the Mayor's Office of Art, Culture and Film's program), as well as dancing at the Mattie Springfield Dance Studio located in the heart of Park Hill. After graduation, Shae moved to Fort Collins to study at Colorado State University, where she played her first major role as Clemma Diggins in Proposals. Noted for her spirited performance and unique stage presence, Shae received a prestigious invitation to attend the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. Shortly after, she moved to Los Angeles and initially embarked on a career in post-production, landing a job with Technicolor Creative Services, where she met her husband and started a family. After mastering her new role as a wife and a mother, Shae soon returned to acting, determined to pursue it professionally. This new chapter commenced with the role of Cynthia in Conversation Cafe, directed by Nancy Renee at the renowned Stella Adler Theater in Hollywood. From there, she went on to play Harriet Tubman in Harriet Tubman: Woman of Faith, directed by Keith Bossier, and churning out a wide gamut of work in voiceover, film and commercials.
