MASEY McLAIN was born in Vidalia, Georgia, the third of four children born to Marty and Stephanie McLain. McLain grew up a pastor’s daughter and attributes a lot of her love for the arts to her mom, who was a competitive dancer, singer, and choreographer. When McLain’s family moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where her Dad would pastor a new church, Masey expressed to her parents her desire to become an actress, signed with a talent agency, and soon after booked her first commercial with Disney Channel where she had to sing for the Jonas Brothers.

Throughout high school, she continued to audition and book small guest roles in various TV series, as well as book principal commercial work. She landed her first lead role in a play when she was fifteen years old, where she won Most Outstanding Actress in her region’s competition. McLain also started on the girls’ basketball team at her high school as well as ran cross-country and track.

After high school, Masey went to college in the Atlanta area where she studied communications. With a musical background, she performed original songs in various coffeehouses throughout the Atlanta area and began regularly leading worship at her church. McLain made her first true mark in film when she played the lead role in her first feature film, I’m Not Ashamed. She continues to pursue an acting career while also communicating a message of passion and purpose to today’s young people.
