Scarlett Blum

Scarlett Blum is an American actor and dancer. The youngest member of a family of actors in Raleigh, North Carolina, Scarlett appeared in her first short film, "Faces (Helene)," when she was only 2 years old. Her parents, lifelong performers, met doing local theatre, so it surprised no one when Scarlett and her siblings all displayed talent as performers. By the age of four, Scarlett had acted in numerous theatrical productions ranging from Shakespearean tragedy to musical theatre. In fact, while they rehearsed "Macbeth," the director, her mother, recognized Scarlett's preternatural focus as a skill that would translate well to film.

Scarlett booked her first regional commercial when she was four, but it was two years later, on the set of Fox's "The Gifted," that she found her happy place. Cast and crew alike noted how Scarlett seamlessly slipped into character as the director said, "Action!" In fact, she so impressed the director with her performance in the first scene they shot, that he amended the script for her second scene, not only having Scarlett awake instead of asleep as originally scripted but assigning her dialogue as well.
