Baltimore native, Julie Meise, began modeling when she was 17 in Baltimore and NY. She made her way to CESD in L.A. to pursue acting and modeling simultaneously. Her Ukrainian, German, and Cherokee roots landed her several campaigns including Saks Fifth Avenue Kass Collections and runways for Nicole Miller and True Religion. Julie also got parts in NCIS:L.A., CSI, and a feature film coming out next year called "Swallow".
We sat with her over coffee and the first thing we noticed is that Julie is pretty darn cool...emphasis on the "pretty". What made us want to meet her was how funny she was in her hosting reel where she interviews on red carpets for several events in L.A. (look for her interviews from the LA Comedy Shorts Festival). She's uses that same humor when she volunteers with a great charity performing for kids in local hospitals (see below).
While we were sipping our coffee laughing our butts off, it all came to a halt when Julie eyed Javier Bardem in motorcycle gear walking in to grab some coffee. She fantasized about jumping on the back of his motorcycle and then laughed it off. We believe if it wasn't for Penelope, Julie's cool attitude and stunning apperance would have been able to get away with it!
