PAIGE HURD
Only July 20, 1992 Paige Hurd was born to be a star. From the moment she learned to talk, her mother would find her standing in the middle of restaurants, entertaining crowds of strangers with jokes, songs and dance. By three-and-a-half years of age, she signed with Kim Dawson Modeling Agency, a sister agency of Ford Models and began stealing the audience’s attention participating in J.C. Penny runway shows. "I want to be famous!" a phrase Paige is changing from a dream to reality. One thing is for sure, she is showing the world that she can shine as bright as any star. After booking a role on the hit children's show "Barney & Friends" (PBS) in her hometown of Dallas, Texas, Paige took a summer trip to New York where she signed with two agencies, Cunningham, Escott, Dipene (CED) and Wilhemenia Modeling. After a decision to move to California, she transferred to CED in Los Angeles and she immediately booked a role on the hit television show "Felicity" (WB). Since, this talented young girl has co-starred in the films "Cradle to the Grave" with Jet Li (Warner Bros.), "Never Die Alone" with DMX (20th Century Fox), "The Cat in the Hat" with Mike Myers (Universal), “Time Out” Executive Produced by John Singleton and as the female lead in “Virginia.” On the TV side, she has appeared in hit television shows such as "The George Lopez Show" (ABC), "The Division" (Lifetime), "Boomtown" (NBC) and "PUNK'D" with host Ashton Kutcher (MTV). However, it was the role of Vanessa in “Beauty Shop” (MGM) where starred opposite two Oscar nominated actors (Djimon Hounsou and Queen Latifah) that she proved her talent as an actress is encompassed of many abilities. As Vanessa, the role required her to play in a piano recital, yet Paige had never played a lick of the piano. This determined and ambitious actress learned the piano amazingly quickly to provide the true depth the character had to offer, just so she could have the role. Her growing talent and charming personality helped her land her current role on the CW’s hit show “Everybody Hates Chris.” In her third season on the show, Paige plays the crush/love interest of Chris as the character Tasha. Paige landed her first leading role opposite Godfrey Danchima in the dramatic film “Virginia” as the role Ginny. Though a quiet storm, this film shows the diversity and layers to her various abilities. Recently, Paige developed an original rap she recorded specifically for the GAP (Gang Alternatives Program) Los Angeles’ official PSA in which she is featured. Paige consistently displays the utmost respect, compassion and thoughtfulness both on and off the set. Many recognize the high maturity level and amazing talent she effortlessly displays. Amongst it all, this busy, young, budding Hollywood star still manages to master the piano, enjoy her four siblings and pamper her pit bull (which she named Vanessa). Paige aspires to develop her own production company where she can produce and act in projects that she develops. But for now, her goal is to show Hollywood that her skin tone will neither define nor categorize her.
