Naika Toussaint's passion for acting was ignited when she was just nine years old, mesmerized by her first feature film. This cinematic experience had a profound impact on her, kindling a desire to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. As a result, she began to showcase her talents to her family and friends, staging impromptu performances that left a lasting impression on those around her. It wasn't long before her mother recognized her daughter's potential and enrolled her in her first acting class.
Since then, Naika has made significant strides in the industry, landing major commercial campaigns with prominent brands such as Target, Acuvue, and Tostitos. Her foray into the world of film and television has been equally successful, with recurring roles on the Fox psychological thriller "Wayward Pines" and Syfy's action-horror series "Van Helsing". Additionally, she has appeared in the Netflix comedy "Haters Back Off" and Lifetime's fantasy comedy/drama "The Witches of East End".
Naika's extensive list of credits includes a supporting lead in Lifetime's powerful coming-of-age story "Story Of A Girl", based on the novel by Sara Zarr, directed by Kyra Sedgwick and starring her husband Kevin Bacon. She has also appeared in the MOW "Christmas Solo (aka "A Song For Christmas")" directed by Christine Will Wolf and written by Sheryl J. Anderson, as well as the remarkable true story-based film "Abducted: The Carlina White Story".
