An undeniable talent on the rise, actress Corinne Massiah has quietly amassed an impressive
body of work, encompassing captivating characters she has brought to life.
Massiah currently plays Angela Bassett's daughter, "May Grant," as a series regular in the Ryan
Murphy executive produced series, 9-1-1. The series finished the 6th season on the Fox
Network and will now be airing subsequent seasons on ABC. This action-drama explores the
high-pressure experiences of the first responders who are thrust into the most frightening,
shocking, and heart-stopping situations. Massiah's character, "May", plays an active role as a
9-1-1 dispatch operator, alerting the crew of incoming emergencies, putting her in a high stakes
environment.
Growing up as a twin, Corinne's parents thought it would be a good outlet to put her and her
sister into acting classes to burn off steam, shifting their sibling energy into something other than
each other. After taking her first acting class, Corinne realized that she absolutely loved
performing on a stage in front of friends, and relished the idea of being able to play different
characters. Memorizing lines came easy, and she looked forward to having scene and
monologue showcases at her acting studio.
Massiah made her television debut when she booked her first audition at 8 years old on the
CBS crime-drama series, CSI: NY. She then followed it up with a guest-star on NCIS. Massiah
would try her hand at television commercials by booking several spots for AMERICAN GIRL
DOLL, PROGRESSIVE and AT&T.
During this time, she would land her first major role as a series regular in the Kevin Hart sitcom
pilot, KEEPING IT TOGETHER, for ABC. The pilot would also star Romany Malco. The pilot
was unfortunately not picked up, but the experience proved invaluable and would help drive her
momentum forward. This led her to booking a strong supporting in the feature, ADVENTURES
IN LOVE & BABYSITTING, as well as, a major recurring role on the ABC series, MISTRESSES,
which she was on for four seasons. She followed with recurring roles on the Dan Fogelman
executive produced Fox series, PITCH, and the ABC series, SECRETS & LIES.
Other notable work includes playing the daughter to Dwayne Johnson character in the action adventure
film, G.I. JOE: RETALIATION, directed by John Chu. She also had a small supporting role in the
Neon/Hulu's critically acclaimed horror-comedy BAD HAIR, directed by Justin Simien.
The film starred James Van Der Beek, Vanessa Williams, Jay Pharoah and LenaWaithe.
Corinne absolutely loves dogs, especially her rescue poodle named Scooby! Her dream is to
one day have her own humane animal rescue facility.
Massiah currently resides in Los Angeles.
