Veronica Dunne, a California native, shines as the lead role of Marisa in the Disney Channel series "K.C. Undercover" alongside Disney veteran Zendaya. As Zendaya's on-screen best friend, Dunne embodies the free-spirited and outgoing personality of Marisa.
Born into a family of performers, Dunne's father, Murphy Dunne, is a renowned actor, and she began performing at the tender age of four. With musical theater and stage as a foundation for her acting career, Dunne has grown up to stand on her own two feet.
Her first taste of professional theater came when she starred as Cinderella in the Lythgoe Family Production of "Cinderella" alongside Hollywood veterans Jennifer Leigh Warren and Freddie Stroma. She went on to star in the stage productions of "Into the Woods," "Chicago," "Cabaret," and "The Black Suits," written by Joe Iconis.
This led her to New York, where she auditioned and was offered the lead role of 'Sophie' in Broadway's "Mama Mia," but ultimately chose to take the role of 'Marisa' in "K.C. Undercover" instead.
Now nineteen years old, Dunne offers a unique perspective to fans who often look to her younger peers for guidance. Setting herself apart in the industry, she provides a different type of work ethic and determination. Aspiring to be a strong role model and inspiration to fans of the channel, Dunne loves to tell a story and take her audience on a journey, often performing for the simple act of making people laugh and bringing them joy.
Considered a comic relief, Dunne looks up to Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chasten, and Lucille Ball for their versatility, professionalism, and dedication to the craft of acting. In her spare time, Dunne enjoys singing, dancing, ballet, musical theater, spending time at the beach, and being a movie buff.
With her own unique point of view and determination, Dunne is a rising star in the industry, and her passion for storytelling and performance is evident in her work. As she continues to grow and evolve as an actress, fans can expect to see more of her on screens and stages in the years to come.
