Ecstasia Sanders

Ecstasia Sanders was born in San Diego, California on July 15, 1985. The elder of two born to a Scottish/English mother and an African-American father, Ecstasia was raised in a very artistic household and grew up watching her parents, singer/songwriter Dayle Tomson and musical-theater performer and current member of "The Sojourners" Will Sanders, performing on the stage. They saw the same passion for performing in their daughter at a very young age and decided to get her an agent and give her the opportunity to audition for film and television. Ecstasia's vibrancy landed her her first commercial when she was 7 years old, and she went on to star in many commercials, such as Perfume Princess (1994), AlphaBETs, Polly Pocket (1996), and Operation (1999). She landed her first big part in a feature film as a supporting lead alongside Michele Lee in Color Me Perfect (1996). Ecstasia was very involved in the theater program at her high school, and when she graduated she continued to craft her art form at Lyric School of Acting where she was trained by Michelle Lonsdale Smith, specializing in the Meisner technique and Method Acting. Ecstasia moved to Los Angeles to continue her studies at Lyric School of Acting and went on to star in feature films such as Catwoman (2004), Dr. Dolittle 3 (2006), and Final Destination 3 (2006), as well as television series such as Smallville (2001), Psych (2006), and Supernatural (2005). Ecstasia continues to work on various film and television productions. She has appeared in productions such as Hot Tub Time Machine (2010), Motive (2013), Arctic Air (2012), and Kindergarten Cop 2 (2016).
