Early Life and Career
Born in Texarkana, Texas,[3] Lindsey Rayl began her professional training at age 10, with actor and cinematographer Brian Cutler[4] in Kansas City, Missouri. In 2010, she was challenged by her mentor, writer Marc Scott Zicree[5] to found TeenActor.net, a website for the encouragement of young talent. Rayl has released two singles under her own name, "I'll Wait," and "Insane," and is currently completing an album.[6]
Lindsey Rayl is the daughter of a pharmacist who overcame drug addiction before Lindsey was born, and who remains active in recovery. Rayl's mother also rose above adversity, as a survivor of extreme poverty, physical and sexual abuse, to become a leading executive in the mental healthcare industry. Rayl's mother is related to former governor of Louisiana Jimmie Davis,[7] who wrote "You Are My Sunshine".[8] Lindsey Rayl has an older brother, diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 19. Her sister is a prominent lawyer in Dallas, and the mother of an autistic son born, by coincidence, on Lindsey Rayl's birthday.
