Carol Lee
Carol had dreams of being a pastry chef with a TV show and was accepted into the four-year pastry arts program at the Culinary Institute of America. But it was very expensive and her parents thought she would not make any money because they heard their friend's cousin's daughter's neighbor couldn't find a job after graduating. So she turned to her backup plan and became an actor/filmmaker to show them truly just how little money she could make. Outside of Model Majority, Carol can be seen as Luanne in Banana Zakary (Point Lookout Film Festival Best Concept, Grove Film Festival Best Film), co-starring as Karen Chang on the web-series Bougie Betty, as Penny on another web-series, Math Warriors, or looking shocked in the background of random TV shows, movies, and commercials. She at times freelances as a video editor, director, and producer. Carol also still likes pastries, works as a professional stand in for people much more famous than her, and wants to pet all the puppies and kittens. IG: @carolleeshoots | imdb.me/carollee

Chris Paul Morales
Chris Paul Morales (@chrispaulmorales) is an actor, singer and competitive archer from Queens, NY. You might be thinking “Have I seen him in something?” Depends. Have you seen the Off-Broadway production of “1-2-3 Manhunt” (Theater for The New City)? Or maybe “Failure!” starring Ted Raimi that debuted at Cannes and was released on AppleTV. Perhaps you saw him as Jhason in the banned film “Never Forget”. Ah, you saw “X-Mas Anonymous” on the festival circuit this past year? Yep, he was Danny! Morales’ success is not attributed to himself alone. His talent was molded by the Susan Batson Studio, RADA and the Warner Loughlin Studio. These days he can be found at an archery range training for the 2028 Olympics. He’s very excited to spend his rest day performing in his third Model Majority show! (Actually he literally came straight here from the archery range.)
