About me

View profile

Maris Vasenius is a Finnish actor with experience in TV, film, theatre, commercial screen work, and classical vocal training. She has trained in acting and improvisation and performed with Shazam Theatre Company in the UK, in addition to appearing in various on-camera productions.

Maris began performing at a young age, studying classical singing at Espoo Music Institute and later training in show jazz and performance. Her background in aesthetic group gymnastics and cheerleading has given her strong physical awareness, discipline, and control, which translate naturally into her screen presence.

Alongside her artistic work, she is completing a Master’s degree in Neuroscience. This academic foundation informs her analytical yet intuitive approach to character development, particularly in psychologically complex and emotionally layered roles.
