Raychel Diane Weiner is embarking on a remarkable journey in the television and film industry as a lead actor in the highly anticipated Starz drama Flesh and Bone, created by the acclaimed writer and producer Moira Walley-Beckett, known for her work on Breaking Bad.
As she takes on the role of Daphne, the "edgy rocker" of the ballet world, Raychel is transitioning from a professional dancer to a prominent actor, leveraging her extensive experience in the dance world.
Raychel's dance training began in Southern California under the guidance of esteemed instructors Diane Lauridsen, Charles Maple, Amanda Mckerrow, and John Gardner. She went on to have a distinguished career with renowned companies such as the St. Louis Ballet, Oregon Ballet Theater, Ballet Arizona, and Post:Ballet, where she remains a principal dancer.
With a lifelong passion for dance and a growing interest in acting, Raychel is bridging the gap between her two creative pursuits with her new role.
Hailing from a long line of artists in the entertainment industry, including musicians, actors, photographers, and music producers, Raychel comes from a rich cultural heritage.
During a brief hiatus from her professional career due to an injury, Raychel explored the fashion world, working with an Australian clothing line and traveling the US as a hairstylist for celebrities and musicians.
With the discipline of an artist and performer, and the fearlessness to venture into uncharted territory, Raychel is poised to become one of the greats and has no intention of slowing down the momentum she has built for herself.
