If you have been anywhere near a television screen at the Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida since 2005 then you have been captivated by a vivacious and adorable woman telling you about the fabulous rides and attractions you are going to experience during your stay. Well, that hyper-energetic, totally mesmerizing personality, known by her fans as “the human exclamation point” is, Stacey J. Aswad.
Stacey’s humble beginnings are in Binghamton, New York where she started competitive artistic roller skating at the age of five and went on to become a five-time national champion in the sport. Along the way to that achievement, Stacey began studying dance and ultimately earned her BFA in Dance from The Juilliard School in New York City. After graduation, she danced and choreographed professionally in New York and around the country. Seeking new and different challenges, and to see the range of artistic opportunities in other parts of the country, Stacey left New York.
She continued her professional performing career in ballet, modern and jazz throughout the Midwest and also joined the Dance faculty at The Youth Performing Arts School in Louisville, Kentucky. During this time, she developed an interest in acting and had a natural talent for it. After booking many regional commercials, industrials and voiceovers, she relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina. There she scored some national commercials and voiceovers and the series regular role of Andi Ramsey, on the television series, 7th STREET THEATER, now airing on multiple cable networks worldwide.
In May 2005, she booked the hosting gig for the 24/7 airing, Walt Disney World’s TOP 7 MUST SEES, television show and that exposure was the turning point in her career. When Hollywood composer agent, Richard Kraft and his friends saw Stacey’s show while on vacation at Walt Disney World, he tracked her down to be the host of his documentary, FINDING KRAFTLAND. She flew out to Los Angeles in September 2005 and spent a whirlwind five days shooting and becoming friends with the fabulous filmmakers.
Upon returning to North Carolina, Stacey had the opportunity to do plays for the first time in her life. To critical and audience acclaim, she played nine different hilarious roles in the regional premiere of the new comedy, CARRIE ANN’S KISS and immediately went on to shine as the lead in the popular Alan Ball play, FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS. During all this stage work, Stacey shot the lead role in the feature length love story, ME & YOU, US, FOREVER, which would open in theatres in February 2008. After completing the film, she returned to Los Angeles in 2006 for the extravagant premiere of FINDING KRAFTLAND at Paramount Studios.
This fortuitous trip to Los Angeles confirmed to Stacey what she already knew in her heart she needed to do. So, desiring new challenges and forever accompanied by the love and support of her family and friends, Stacey rented an RV. She filled it up with the bare necessities and drove cross country with her two beloved, rescued cats, Rosebud and Lily.

Angeles in 2007, Stacey has been on a whirlwind ride and is extremely
