Banshee S01E06

In 2010, CJ Perry took a fateful trip to Las Vegas. The accomplished dancer, model and singer had just weathered a series of personal storms and had only $80 in her pocket. But her luck was about to change. The Florida native left Sin City with $3,000 in blackjack earnings and decided to make an immediate and dramatic change. "I was like, 'I’m going to move to LA,'" she recalls. "I remember thinking, 'I’m going to take this $3,000 and make it happen.'" Perry wanted to finally pursue in earnest her dream of becoming an actor. Fortunately for Perry, she had plenty of momentum in the other components of her career. After all, she was an in-demand dancer who graduated from the Latvian National Ballet Academy and had toured with Keri Hilson and P!nk. Her striking beauty and flawless physique had helped her become a red-hot model. She was the most downloaded "Hot College Girl" on the AT&T and Sprint networks in 2008 and 2009.

In her first few weeks in Los Angeles, Perry booked five gigs, including a speaking role on the acclaimed television show The Game and a spot in Afrojack’s 'Take Over Control' video, which has more than 26 million views on YouTube. Since then, Perry landed a role in Universal Picture’s hit film Pitch Perfect starring Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow. The movie is up for a People’s Choice Award. Now, Perry has a recurring role in the Cinemax original series Banshee, a drama from Alan Ball, the creator of True Blood. Even though she’s making steady strides with her acting career, Perry has remained grounded and focused on landing her next role. "Having to work up the ladder really makes me appreciate any form of success that I have," says Perry, who is also a trained martial artist. "It makes me really value it. I’m working really hard and striving to be a really great actress. I don’t look at it like, 'I just want to be hot at this time.' I invested eight years of my life in dance, training 40 hours a week. I became a great dancer. I will be a great actress because I’m approaching it the same way – my whole body, soul and spirit are working hard. I’m living it and breathing it."


Born in Gainesville, Florida, Perry took a circuitous route to Hollywood. She and her family moved regularly because of her father’s work as a missionary. They settled in Latvia, where Perry became the first and only international student to graduate from the Latvian National Ballet Academy, the same school Mikhail Baryshnikov attended. She emerged as a tremendous dancer, a professional who toured Europe during her teenage years and became fluent in Russian before her parents relocated to the states. Perry then enrolled at Florida State University, befriended Jenn Sterger and became a FSU Cowgirl. Sterger trained Perry and helped her develop her look. Perry was soon winning bikini contests and scoring prestigious modeling jobs, including the RIDGID Calendar and Matrix Energy Drink.

Simultaneously, Perry became infatuated with breakdancing. Even though she was a world-class ballet dancer, she didn’t know how to dance socially, much like Julia Stiles’ character in Save The Last Dance. Once she became a proficient breakdancer, Perry was recruited in 2009 to join No Means Yes, a girl group signed to Ne-Yo’s label. Perry had the supermodel looks, the dancing ability and could sing. The group disbanded a year later when one of the girls left. But Perry’s time in the quartet provided her with the network to work as a dancer with some of music’s biggest names, including P!nk, Afrojack, Nelly, Usher, Jason Derulo, Ludicrous, Taio Cruz , Big Time Rush and Keri Hilson.

Perry’s move to Los Angeles also enhanced her modeling career. She was a Miller Lite Poster Girl for NASCAR in 2011, working extensively with Sprint Cup winner Brad Keselowski in 2012 doing on-site promotions at the races. She also earned the coveted job as the main Red Bull spokesmodel for its motocross division, a role she started in May 2012. She has also appeared on American Idol and I.C.I.R.U.S., among other television programs. Given her role in the spotlight, Perry is keenly aware of the impact she can have on others. One of her favorite quotes, one she lives by, is from the ancient Egyptian Jewish philosopher Philo: 'Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.' "I believe that being grateful is key to having a happy life," Perry says. "Love unconditionally. We are living in a very broken world, so let’s have compassion for everyone and let’s try to open our mind to new things and understand why people are they way they are. We all come from different parts of the world, races, cultures and religions. We can all teach something to each other if we are open-minded and have loving hearts. Let’s make change with the man in the mirror and love one another to make a better universe."

As for her professional goals, Perry would eventually like to star in a major motion picture as a superhero (she’s a comic fanatic) and win a fistful of Emmys for her own comedy show. She imagines taking home awards for acting and writing, and keeps her skills sharp as a regular at Groundlings, Improv Olympic and UCB (Upright Citizens Brigade). Although some may say her dreams are ambitious, Perry believes they are also obtainable. "My dad told me my entire life that the sky is the limit for your dreams," she says. "That’s why 'The sky is the limit' has always been my motto. I grew up with the American Dream that all things are possible and so I’ve lived my life that way. If you’re willing to dedicate everything to making it happen, then you can make it happen."
