Mollee Gray

Mollee Gray was born on May 15, 1991, in Salt Lake City, Utah, and raised in Orem, Utah. She began her formal dance training at The Dance Club in her hometown. At the age of 12, an audition led to a dancing role in the Disney film “High School Musical.” Her talent led director Kenny Ortega to connect her with an agent, and she subsequently appeared in “High School Musical 2” and “High School Musical 3.” These early experiences laid the foundation for a career in the entertainment industry, encompassing both dance and acting.

Gray’s career expanded significantly with various television appearances, including “SYTYCD” Season 6, “Shake It Up,” “X Factor,” “America’s Got Talent,” “Ellen,” “Drop Dead Diva,” “Big Time Rush,” “Glee,” “Victorious,” and “The Voice.” She also performed as a dancer for artists such as Taylor Swift, Snoop Dogg, and Jennifer Lopez. A notable turning point in her acting career was her role as Sari in the film “No Strings Attached” (2011), starring Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman. Her role as Giggles in Disney Channel’s “Teen Beach Movie” (2013) and its sequel “Teen Beach 2” (2015) brought her international recognition, with “Teen Beach Movie” premiering to over 14 million viewers and “Teen Beach 2” becoming a top-rated cable-TV movie for its demographic. These projects solidified her position as a recognized figure in youth entertainment.

Beyond her dance and acting roles, Gray has taken on lead characters in other productions, including Amanda in the psychological thriller “Double Daddy” (2015) and Courtney in the indie film “South 32” (2016). She further demonstrated her acting range in films like “The Reliant” (2019) and “The Favorite” (2019). In addition to her on-screen work, Gray has pursued a music career, releasing two singles, “You Don’t Know Anything” and “Wasted,” targeted at a tween/young adult audience. Demonstrating her commitment to giving back, she also serves as a celebrity ambassador for the Breaking the Chains Foundation, promoting positive body image and educating youth on eating disorder prevention.
