We had the good fortune of connecting with Isabella Cuda and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Isabella, is there something you believe many others might not?
People set a time limit on their success, for example, I’ll give myself one year to book a big role or become a series regular and if it doesn’t happen then I’ll move on. Actors need to realize that it’s a marathon not a sprint, enjoy the ride!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I started acting when I was 5 years old when I was approached by an agent at a local restaurant. I pretended to be a waitress and was taking orders from customers. The agent handed my mom a business card and 6 months later I booked my first national commercial for Enbrel with Phil Mickelson. At age 7 I become a SAG (Screen Actors Guild) member and booked several more commercials, TV shows and feature films.

Any great local spots you’d like to shoutout?
I would take them to the beach of course, Moonlight beach in Encinitas is my favorite and Handel’s ice cream is a must but I also like to walk along the beach at Torrey Pines. I love to go Kayaking in LaJolla and just hang out with my friends at the beach.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Shout out goes to my mom and dad who have supported me all along, They drive me to LA sometimes several times a week, it’s at least 5 hours on the road for one audition. My family near and far My supportive friends and neighbors My manager Annet McCroskey at Artistic Endeavors for always believing in me. She always has my back, in good times and bad times. My team at Zuri Talent who are working hard for me and keeping me very busy. Agent Pam Pahnke who got me started in this business My neurosurgeons Dr. Ben Carson and Dr. Danielpour, without them I would not be walking today My amazing teachers and counselors My cat Graycie
