Lexi DiBenedetto ( born March 21, 1999) was born and raised in Carolina Beach, on the Cape Fear Coast of North Carolina. Only 16 years old, Lexi has already appeared in many television shows and movies, including “Grey’s Anatomy” for which she won the 2014 Young Artist Award for Best Young Actress, Guest Starring Performance in a TV Drama Series, as well as “Modern Family”, “Criminal Minds, “Martyrs”, James’s Franco’s “Memoria” (to be released), and “Fall Down Dead.” She is an extraordinarily talented actress with great versatility. Lexi had her breakout performance in the short film, “Love is All You Need?” which won Lexi Special Recognition for Best Actress Performance at the 2012 Sonoma International Film Festival. This short went viral and has now received over 10 million hits on YouTube, as well as international attention. It has also been used as an educational piece to stop bullying around the world. When Lexi isn’t acting (or at the beach), she enjoys horseback riding, photographing, martial arts, trapeze and playing ukulele. Lexi also understands the importance of giving back and is always seeking opportunities to help bring attention to causes which help the most vulnerable, especially animals. Starting as a young girl in North Carolina, she was an active member of 4-H. Today she is a current member of N.S.C.A.R. (National Society of the Children of the American Revolution) and supports NKLA, an initiative of Best Friends Animal Society, where she’s volunteered. Lexi is also proficient in ASL and hopes to use this beautiful language in the future.
