Claudia Cristina Rocafort is a multi-talented individual who has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry as an actress, dancer, spokesperson, certified Life Coach, and Communications Consultant. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, she was exposed to the world of film from a young age, thanks to her father, Juan Antonio Rocafort, a film producer in Spain. Her mother, Aura Siso, and grandmother, both New York-born and avid theater lovers, further nurtured her passion for the performing arts.
Claudia's love affair with the stage began with her first ballet recital at the tender age of five. She grew up bilingually, attending an American school in Venezuela, and later moved to the United States to attend The Ethel Walker School in Simsbury, Connecticut. During her time at the school, she continued her dance training, began performing in musicals, and took choreography classes. Her hard work paid off when she was awarded the Genevra Minor Darling Dance Cup in 1987.
Claudia's academic pursuits led her to Tufts University in Boston, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in Drama and Art History. She further honed her craft at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute in New York City, making her acting debut Off-Broadway in the Working Theater production of "Heroes and Saints" in 1994. This marked the beginning of a successful career in television, with recurring roles in shows such as One Life to Live, Spin City, As the World Turns, Now and Again, Burn Notice, The Glades, Los Secretos de Lucia, and Life Sentence.
In addition to her television work, Claudia has also made a name for herself in film, with her debut role as the femme fatale female lead Sasha Rollins in the independent film "The Definite Maybe" in 1998. She has since appeared in a range of films, including "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and "Step Up Revolution". Her versatility has also allowed her to work in various commercials, including national and international campaigns for brands such as Kellogg's Smart Start, Boddingtons Pub Ale, AT&T, Budweiser, and more.
Claudia's distinctive voice has also been featured in a range of voice-over projects, including radio commercials, infomercials, industrials, public service announcements, and dubbing for films. Her international background and look have made her a sought-after talent for projects that require a unique blend of cultural and linguistic expertise.
