Flag of the United States Las Vegas, Nevada

Daveigh Chase is an American actress, singer, and voice over artist. She was born Daveigh (pronounced "Da-Vay") Elizabeth Schwallier on July 24, 1990 in Las Vegas, Nevada, but this was later changed to Daveigh Elizabeth Chase after her parents divorced. Chase lives with her mother Cathy Chase, is an only child, and was raised in Albany, Oregon, before moving to Los Angeles to pursue her career (although she does still spend much of her time in Albany). She wanted to perform from a very early age and began singing and dancing in her hometown and other local areas at community events and shows. One of the factors which inspired her was watching videos of Barney & Friends when she was 4 years old. "I wanted to be like them, the kids on the video," she later said. Her mother then entered her in a Little Miss America Pageant where Chase won the national vocal competition. Following her success, Chase was then signed by an agent who specialised in commercials and at the age of 7, she appeared in a Campbells Soup advertisement. In 1998, she landed a starring role as a child member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints(Mormons)in a musical theatre production called "Utah!".

Lilo & Stitch

Chase's big break came later in 1998 when she won the lead role as the voice of an Hawaiian girl, Lilo Pelekai, in the Disney animated feature, Lilo & Stitch. The film concerns how Lilo befriends a strange and destructive blue alien whom she calls "Stitch" and how she tries to teach him how to behave using Elvis Presley music as exemplars. The message conveyed throughout the film is essentially that families must remain united, that there is an innate goodness in all children, that people should take pride in their own culture, and the importance of good behaviour. For her performance, Chase would go on to win an Annie Award for it in 2003 and star in the follow up TV Series The tone or style of this article or section may not be appropriate for Wikipedia. ...

Spirited Away

In 2001, Chase won the role as the voice of the lead character, Chihiro Ogino, a 10 year old Japanese girl, in the American dub of the animated Japanese feature, Spirited Away, a dark reworking of Alice in Wonderland. At the date of writing (9th July 2006), the Internet Movie Database rates the movie the best animated movie of all time and the 49th best film of all time. In the film, Chihiro and her parents accidentally drive into a spirit city. The parents are soon turned into pigs. At first frightened, Chihiro soon learns how to fight back and break the spell that has been placed on her parents. As well as being an adventure film, the most interesting aspect of it is the message which runs through Chihiro's journey of self discovery, that through hard work, fortitude, and determination, one can acquire the self confidence and assuredness to deal even with the most difficult of situations. Driving away at the end of the film (a scene which only appears in the Chase dub version), Chihiro's father asks her if she is up to the challenges of a new home and new school. A more self-confident Chihiro responds "I think I can handle it!" The film would go on to win the 2002 Best Animated Feature Oscar.

The Ring

In 2002, Chase starred in what is arguably her most famous role, that of Samara Morgan in The Ring. In the film, a reporter, Rachel, investigates the death of her niece, Katie, who died one week after watching a strange video. Rachel retraces Katies steps back to a cabin where she finds and watches the video in question and makes the connection between it, the death of Katie and others, and a strange phonecall that happens immediately after you watch the video where a little girl (Samara) says "seven days" and hangs up. Rachel then realises that she has just one week to unravel the mystery or die in the attempt if she fails, and that the key to resolving it lies in the video itself which contains a seemingly random series of disturbing, grainy black & white images. Enquiries result in Rachel learning of Samara Morgan who had been murdered by her adoptive parents who believed that she had driven her mother insane and brought about the deaths of several horses after rendering them suicidal. Rachel then discovers Samara's grave at the bottom of a well and arranges a proper burial which she assumes will put her spirit to rest. However, Samara kills again and Rachel realises that the only way to escape Samara is to duplicate the video and get somebody else to watch it, thus generating a seemingly endless macabre cycle. Chase was awarded the 2003 Best Villain award at the MTV Movie Awards for an excellent performance. Samara Morgan is a character in the 2002 movie, The Ring. ...
