The actress was brought up as the youngest and only daughter of a single mother, Paula D’Amico Vesce. She has always been very close to her mother who has a successful career as an educator and trainer in the Permanent Cosmetics Industry. She has not made any revelation about her father or if he has had any involvement in her life.

Other information surrounding her education is not available in the public domain except that she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism as well as in Theatre. Among the few available details about her is that she has been in Nashville for many years, having moved there in order to pursue her career and be among creative-minded people.

She Began Her Career When She was 16

While growing up, the actress had a strong interest in sport, and she got involved in it. However, she made it known that she felt she was in need of an additional outlet. This drove her to want to become a performer as she enjoyed watching live Theater performances, films, and TV shows.

At the age of 8, Kayla began to involve herself in local theatre performances. She fell in love with the theatre at that point and decided she wanted to become a professional actress. She started her career when she was only 16 years old with her role in the 2006 film, The Departed.

Kayla’s role in the crime thriller was a minor and uncredited one since she was only a pedestrian. She appeared in the film alongside some big names, including Ben Affleck, Rebecca Hall, Jeremy Renner, Blake Lively, and Jon Hamm.

Before she started her professional career, her mother was very instrumental in the process. Because there were not too many opportunities for child actors in the area where she was raised in Boston, her mother found some adult acting and voice lessons in which she enrolled her daughter.

What Role Did Kayla Rae Vesce Play in Free Guy?

Although she has had a few roles in some productions, having started her career over a decade before she appeared in Free Guy, it was the movie that really got her name out. Even at that, the role that she played in the film is a very minor one, so much that she is not captured as one of the cast members on various platforms, including IMDB, which is one of the most comprehensive databases for actors and films.

That said, Kayla’s popularity in the film was mostly from the success of the action-comedy film rather than her own role. The 2012 production revolved around a bank teller who gets to find out that he is nothing but a background player in an open-world video game. He forces his way into becoming the hero of the movie, thereby saving himself from being destroyed in the game.

Free Guy was directed by Shawn Levy and featured stars like Ryan Reynolds – the bank teller, Shawn Levy, Sarah Schechter, Greg Berlanti, and Adam Kolbrenner. Thanks to the film’s popularity, it made $121.6 million at the US Box office.

She is Not Only an Actress

Apart from being an actress for which she is mostly known in the mainstream, Kayla is also a lot of other things in one. With good looks and a great body, she was once a model, although she did not get to push that part of her career very well. In 2017, she took part in the Maxim Finest competition but did not win.

Also, she is a digital creator and social media influencer who has more than 15 thousand followers on Instagram. While her following may not be very large, she is able to attract so much engagement which has made it easy for her to promote various products including Retinol products, Boxy Charm, LA MER, and EMANI amongst many others.

Even before she took to acting, she had various jobs after she left college. Rae once worked for different professional sports teams. Around that time, she also had a job in a social recreation program for a firm that was into helping mentally and physically handicapped adults to learn life and social skills.

Her Career Path Hasn’t Been Very Easy

While she might have come a long way, the “Free Guy” actress has not had it easy coming as far as she has. She revealed that as soon as she finished college, she started facing some challenges because while Boston was not where she wanted to be, she felt the need to stay close home because it was around that time that her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer.

The next challenge she had, came a year later when she succeeded in getting a role on a TV show. Unfortunately, that did not turn out well for her as the show got canceled during its pilot. This was a devastating hit to her young career, but Kayla picked herself up from there and was able to build something out of the challenges.

Is Kayla Rae Vesce Married or Dating

Kayla Rae Vesce is a beautiful and talented woman who would easily attract any man her way. While she has done a great job in keeping a better part of her personal life away from the public, it is clear that she is currently neither married nor engaged to public knowledge.

However, the actress is in a loving relationship with Cary Ryan. Details as regards how they met and started dating are not available but we know that they have been together for many years now, with their first pictures together on social media dating back to 2015.
