Daveigh Chase is an American actress, singer, and voice over artist. She was born Daveigh (pronounced "Da-Vay") Elizabeth Schwallier on July 24, 1990 in Las Vegas, Nevada, but this was later changed to Daveigh Elizabeth Chase after her parents divorced. Chase lives with her mother Cathy Chase, is an only child, and was raised in Albany, Oregon, before moving to Los Angeles to pursue her career (although she does still spend much of her time in Albany). She wanted to perform from a very early age and began singing and dancing in her hometown and other local areas at community events and shows. One of the factors which inspired her was watching videos of Barney & Friends when she was 4 years old. "I wanted to be like them, the kids on the video," she later said. Her mother then entered her in a Little Miss America Pageant where Chase won the national vocal competition. Following her success, Chase was then signed by an agent who specialised in commercials and at the age of 7, she appeared in a Campbells Soup advertisement. In 1998, she landed a starring role as a child member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints(Mormons)in a musical theatre production called "Utah!". Wiki
