    Monica Raymund Facts

  • She started learning to play the piano at the age of 5.
  • Monica used to play softball in middle school and claimed to be very good at that game.
  • Monica was considering a professional career in an industry related to Science subjects and did not explore her passion for acting seriously until she was accepted to Juilliard. Even though she was a theatre geek throughout school, she merely looked at it as a hobby.
  • When Monica landed a part on Lie to me (2009–2011), she learned everything on the job. The actress had no idea she would be working in TV or films because she was presuming to become exclusively a Broadway theatre actress.
  • As much as she loves her job as an actress, she admits that the downside of the TV industry is that most roles do not offer long-term job security and her character can be written off any show at any time.
  • The only privilege the actress has experienced outside her industry owing to her profession is that she has to wait for very less time for a table at a high-end restaurant.
  • She is the founder/president of the theatrical production company SISU Theatrical Productions.
  • Monica frequently travels throughout the country to teach acting classes.
  • She is extremely involved in her nonprofit Performing Arts Project based in Wake Forest University, North Carolina which gives away 8-10 scholarships every session for a 3-week intensive acting training.
  • She acquired a motorcycle license in 2014 and purchased a motorcycle the very next year.
  • Sports were not a major influence on Monica’s life while she was growing up, so the actress did not like watching any professional games other than UFC until she moved to Chicago for work where she developed an interest in ice-hockey.
