Christopher Chace Crawford was born in Lubbock, Texas, the son of Dana (Plott), a teacher, and Chris Wayne Crawford, a dermatologist. He grew up in Plano, Texas, and has a younger sister, Candice Crawford Romo, who studied broadcast journalism and won the Miss Missouri USA title in 2008. Chace played football and golf in high school, and is a talented artist. He graduated from Trinity Christian Academy in 2003. Although he worked as a model in Dallas, he never pursued acting. He moved to Malibu, California, to attend Pepperdine University after high school where he was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity. He struggled to identify a career path, vacillating between advertising, business and communications majors. Midway through his second year, his mother encouraged him to pursue acting. He credits her for initiating this move. She stated that "it was a practical move," based on a career aptitude test he had taken in high school, which revealed he was best suited for a career in the performing arts. He was signed by the first talent agent that interviewed him and then committed full-time to acting studies.
In 2006, Chace appeared in Lifetime's television movie Long Lost Son (2006), where he plays the son of Gabrielle Anwar's character. That same year, he starred alongside Steven Strait, Taylor Kitsch, Sebastian Stan and Toby Hemingway in the horror/thriller movie, The Covenant (2006). The year 2007 was a big break for Chace. He became one of the leads in CW's drama, Gossip Girl (2007). Among his cast members on the show are Penn Badgley, Leighton Meester & Ed Westwick. In the year 2008, Chace was seen in the movie Loaded (2008), opposite Jesse Metcalfe. He also got involved in the independent movie, The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008) with Haley Bennett. His other guest appearance includes a stint on the Family Guy (1999) episode The Former Life of Brian (2008). Other than being involved in more acting projects, the year 2008 proved to be an even better year for Chace as he won the Choice TV Breakout Star Male at the Teen Choice Award.- Actress

She majored in Art and English, respectively. Miss Jackson moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico after a fourth year in college, and began a career in theater as a stage manager. It was here that she met with Godfrey Reggio of 'The Institute For Regional Education' and became a member of the crew on the highly regarded documentary film, Koyannisquattsi. Her love for filmaking was sparked by this experience. As major motion pictures cycled heavily into the state of New Mexico, Miss Jackson worked productions as 'Extras Casting Director' for many legendary Directors (see filmography). She recognized the extraordinary talent pool in the state and began lobbying LA casting directors to view tapes of local actors for roles formerly cast out of the Los Angeles area. After a few years of being instrumental in casting SAG roles on big budget films, on many major motion pictures, she requested a new 'credit' as 'Location Casting Director' and thereby coined the same credit phrase. Between casting films, Miss Jackson studied acting with legendary coach, Lawrence Parke, owner/writer of 'Acting World Books' and fondly remembered in Los Angeles as 'The StarMaker'. Currently Miss Jackson is on hold as 'Location Casting Director' for Cruise/Wagner, coaches the young, Hollywood elite for major films and pilot leads, reads scripts for one of the most respected producers in the business and performs regularly as a stand-up comedienne at 'The Improv', 'The Comedy Store', 'The Ha Ha' and 'The Acme Theater'.
