Charla Kaye Bocchicchio's life has been a thrilling journey of artistic expression, marked by a passion for make-believe and performance from a young age. Born in Belleville, Illinois, to Robert and Frances Hale, she was the youngest of five siblings, and her early years were filled with the excitement of theatre and the arts.
As she grew older, Charla's interest in acting only intensified, and she went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre from the University of Utah.

Under the guidance of renowned acting coaches such as Anthony Meindl, Charla's skills and confidence grew, and she began to make a name for herself in the industry. She was also fortunate to have Judy Kain, a mentor and dear friend, enter her life, and through Judy's guidance, Charla became the lead youth teacher at the award-winning Keep It Real Acting School in North Hollywood.
