Felissa Rose

Felissa Rose Esposito, a true New Yorker at heart, was basically born with the itch to perform. When she was just 13, she landed the infamous role of Angela in Sleepaway Camp (1983)—yeah, that wild cult classic people still talk about. By 17, she was already hustling for her future, snagging early admission to NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Not too shabby, right? There, she hit up The Lee Strasberg Institute, seriously grinding to hone her acting chops. She wasn’t just chilling at school either—she dove straight into the deep end with Manhattan’s theater scene. Felissa took on all sorts of roles: Denise Savage in Savage in Limbo, Karen in Phone Sex (no, not that kind), Renée in David Henry Hwang’s M. Butterfly, Willie in This Property is Condemned, and even Desdemona in Othello. The girl’s got range, trust me. Film gigs started rolling in, too. She popped up in Woody Allen’s Another Woman (1988), Pain and Suffering, and The Night We Never Met (1993). Oh, and if you’re into retro MTV, she did The Party Phone Series with Adam Sandler before he was, well, Adam Sandler. Right now, she’s mixing it up with the NY Dinner Theater crowd, playing Louise in Disorganized Crime, all while keeping her eyes peeled for new TV and film projects. Basically, Felissa’s not slowing down anytime soon.
