Kendra Chideya

Kendra Chideya is an actress, model, writer, and director. Born and raised in North Carolina, she has always aspired to entertain others through creative outlets such as acting and modeling. When she performed in her first play at the age of eleven and became introduced to the excellence that is Christopher Nolan, her desire to pursue a career in the entertainment industry wholeheartedly began.

Since that discovery, she has become a graduate of Elon University in 2021 with a degree in BFA Acting. For the past few years, during her training, she has performed in and directed several theatre and film productions.

Some of her film credits include supporting roles in the films ‘A Reflection of Evil’ and ‘Light In Us Dark Ones’. Kendra also starred in the short film she co-produced and wrote titled ‘It’s Over’. Recently, she has wrapped for a film in pre-release stages titled 'Hope of Escape' where she starred in the lead role as the historian Cornelia Reed. In August 2022, Kendra moved to Los Angeles, CA to further her acting and film aspirations.

Besides her love for performing in theatre/film and modeling, she also enjoys home decor, buying shoes that she doesn’t always necessarily need, reading, spirituality, card games, magic tricks, fangirling over Aaron Sorkin dialogue writing, and rewatching anything Shonda Rhimes has blessed her brilliancy with.

Feel free to take a look around her profile and she looks forward to working with you!
