Calra Gugino was born in Sarasota, Florida but relocated to California when she was five. After graduating valedictorian from her high school, a major modeling agency discovered her and soon after she was modeling and taking acting classes. Through the support and guidance of her first acting coach, Gene Bua, Carla knew she had been bit by the acting bug and possessed the drive to pursue it as a career.
Regardless of whether the role calls for comedy or high drama, Gugino is well equipped to deliver a moving performance. Her deliberate choice to accept a wide variety of roles has helped her build an impressive body of work. She continues to search for roles "that move and inspire me as an artist, and allow me to discover parts of myself that I’m not completely in touch with."
