Melissa Benoist is an American actress and singer. Benoist is starring in the Fox television series Glee as newcomer Marley Rose. She made her debut in the season four premiere "The New Rachel". Aside from her role on Glee, she has appeared in a number of television series including Homeland, The Good Wife, Law and Order, the movie Tennessee, and has been cast in the upcoming movie Imagine.
Benoist made her film debut in Tennessee in 2008. In May 2012, she auditioned for Glee in New York at the Roundabout Theatre Company. She sang different songs for her five auditions: "Fidelity" by Regina Spektor, "King of Anything" by Sara Bareilles, a Colbie Caillat song, and some musical theater songs. In July, she had two screen tests in California for Ryan Murphy, the casting directors, and executive producers. Because the creators had been looking for Marley for a long time, she started working immediately. She and Darren Criss appeared with Josh Duhamel in the opening of the 2013 Kids' Choice Awards.
Benoist, Jacob Artist, Dean Geyer, and Becca Tobin were chosen as ambassadors for Coca Cola's new product, P10 300 ml Coke Mismo. In June 2013, they were flown to Manila, Philippines to endorse the product by visiting different malls and meeting with fans. In July 2013, Benoist was cast in Imagine, an indie film, in the role of Jamie, a desk clerk at a hotel frequented by one of her favorite rock stars of all time.
