Cheyenne Phillips is an actress, producer, writer, and model. She has the unique advantage of working as an actress in both the U.S and Australia because of her dual citizenship, plus training with the Lee Strasberg Institute has had a profound effect which has led to a successful film career. Cheyenne is known for her roles in Outlaws and Angels, Within The Darkness, Ouija Witch, and her upcoming film called A Cooperstown Christmas which she co-wrote and stars in.  Apart from Ms. Phillip's film career, she has worked extensively around the world with well-known photographers including Johanna Siegmann who sought out Cheyenne for Ms. Siegmann’s coffee table book. A picture from that shoot was commissioned by the restaurant franchise ‘Ice Box Cafe’ in Florida and was positioned on the walls of the cafe.
Australian photographer to the stars, John Waddy, flew Cheyenne to Sydney for a layout with Tony Bonner, an Australian actor, and an icon. The shoot took place on Sydney’s Manly Beach. Upon returning to Los Angeles, Cheyenne was signed by the ‘Wolf Connection’ a non-profit organization for the prevention of abuse to wolves and hybrid wolves in the United States. The project involved Cheyenne’s interaction with the animals for a publicity campaign to raise awareness at a red-carpet media event on Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles.
Cheyenne has appeared at numerous sports model events hosted by Michael Torchia and has worked for beauty infomercials including the Luminess and ENVY line of products.
