ALL MY CHILDREN - Randi Morgan
Through the power of individuality, Denise Vasi always makes her presence known! Before her debut as Randi Morgan on ABC's daytime soap opera, All My Children, Ms. Vasi established herself as one of the entertainment industry's "Top Women to Watch." The forever evolving actress earned this title from her early successes in the field of modeling, including on-camera advertising campaigns, international and domestic glossies such as ELLE, Marie Claire, GQ Italy and many more!
Now, with her continual role in a television series and feature films on the horizon, it's no wonder she's making a fast and determined leap into Hollywood. "The opportunity to join All My Children came at a very important time in my life," says Denise. "I understood that in order to do this job I really had to focus 100%."
She has made a huge commitment to take on the character of Randi Morgan, making the big move when the production of "All My Children" went from New York to Los Angeles. As Randi, the actress plays "a hooker with the heart of gold," who is encouraged by Dr. Frankie Hubbard to ditch her tumultuous past and lead a more fulfilling life. Embracing the challenging role of a character not yet fully developed, Denise withstood the trial of behind the scene restructuring and the new direction Mrs. Randi Morgan Hubbard would soon take.
Where does Denise get such vigor and vibrance? From her mother whose diligent work ethic, ambition, and cardinal rules cultivated great strength and endurance, shaping who Denise is today - a resilient Brooklyn, New York native of Puerto Rican, Dominican and Greek decent.
At the ripe age of 12, a family friend decided to send snapshots of Ms. Vasi to an agency and she was soon signed to Ford Models. This unexpected opportunity eventually opened doors to her ultimate dream - acting! "Acting was always my goal," says Denise. "I was blessed and fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to model, while working to find my spot behind the camera of another type..." She is currently signed to Next Management Models and has been featured in numerous on-camera and print campaigns for leading cosmetics and hair care brands (Olay, Bobbie Brown, Dove, Urban Decay, M·A·C, L’Oreal, Target Billboards in New York City's Times Square and on Sunset Boulevard in LA and many more), as well as fashion labels (Italian brand Fiorucci, Doll House, America Eagle, UK brand Republic).
In addition to All My Children, Denise's acting credits include Law and Order: Criminal Intent, the feature film The Good Guy starring Alexis Bledel and music videos for recording artist Mario and Grammy winning recording artist Common, which was directed by Kanye West. What’s next? A film shot in Boston just this summer entitled What's Your Number?
Denise thrives off the miniature miracles tucked away in each waking moment. Outside of her professional aspirations, she finds enjoyment in activities like hiking with her beloved Weimaraner Blu, tweeting her All My Children fans, boxing and S Factor’s unconventional dance fitness. Ms. Vasi is in no rush to predict her next move: "I'm not scared to get up and say, Okay, I'm going to do something completely different today. And if I fall, I know I'll find some way to pick myself up and start all over again." She’s a woman who believes learning never stops because there's always something new to discover. Denise Vasi is the product of living your dream out loud!
Alongside career aspirations, Denise believes service is our worldly duty. To give back, Denise co- chaired and produced the 1st annual event for Caron Renaissance in 2009 - the pioneer of new advances in the field of addiction treatment, raising more than $100,000! This year, the momentum continues as the 2nd annual Caron Renaissance charity event approaches.
