Felissa Rose Esposito's journey in the world of performance began in her childhood, nurtured by her passion for acting. At the tender age of 13, she landed a remarkable role as Angela in the cult film Sleepaway Camp, released in 1983.

Her formal training as a serious actress commenced at The Lee Strasberg institute, where she honed her craft under the guidance of experienced instructors. Felissa's dedication to her craft was put to the test as she performed in various plays around Manhattan, taking on diverse roles such as Denise Savage in "Limbo," Karen in "Phone Sex," Renée in David Henry Hwang's "M. Butterfly," Willie in "This Property is Condemned," and Desdemona in William Shakespeare's "Othello," among many others.

Felissa's film credits include Woody Allen's critically acclaimed "Another Woman" (1988),"Pain and Suffering," "The Night We Never Met" (1993),and MTV's "The Party Phone Series" opposite Adam Sandler.
