Julie Carlsen was born on April 20, 1968 in Denmark. She is an actress, known for Bagland (2003), 2900 Happiness (2007) and Album (2008).
Born and trained in New York City, Julie Carmen began her acting career off-off-Broadway, dancing on Broadway in 'Zoot Suit,' but her film career was launched playing the Puerto Rican mother in John Cassavetes' 'Gloria' opposite Gena Rowlands. Julie studied extensively with Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse, with Uta Hagen at HB Studio and more recently with Patsy Rodenburg. Julie joined the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in the class of 2016. She was inducted into the New Mexico Film and Television Hall of Fame in 2018 for her iconic Southwestern roles in 'Milagro Beanfield War' and Gore Vidal's 'Billy the Kid.' Julie sat on the Board of Directors of IFP/West Film Independent for six years during which time Julie suggested the creation of the John Cassavetes Award, since she just finished acting in Cassavetes' film 'Gloria' and wanted to encourage filmmakers who embraced Cassavetes' experiential style of story telling. Carmen Zapata invited Julie to sit on the Board of Directors of Women in Film for four years as a way to ensure there would always be at least one Latina on the Board. Julie is extremely grateful to have co-starred in films for John Cassavetes, Michael Mann (I), Robert Redford (I), John Carpenter (I), Nicolas Roeg, William A. Graham, Seth Zvi Rosenfeld, Franc Reyes, Tommy Lee Wallace, Carl Schultz, Dan Petrie, Jr., Michael Olmos, Tom Dolby, Tom Williams and on television for Karen Arthur (I), Betty Thomas (I), David Milch, Paris Barclay and Quentin Tarantino. Julie is known for her ageless chameleon qualities, effortlessly shape shifting into extremely diverse roles. She played Angelina Jolie's elegant plantation owner mother, fighting to free their slaves; she's often remembered as sexually-insatiable environmental revolutionary Nina in the HBO series Dream On; John Leguizamo's lesbian freedom-fighting mother; the existential book editor opposite Sam Neill in John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness; but her favorite incarnation was Regine Dandridge in the horror cult classic Fright Night Part Two. Julie holds a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology and works part-time as a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified yoga therapist. Her great-grandfather, Jose Manuel (Lico) Jimenez, was a famous classical pianist from Trinidad, Cuba who emigrated to Germany to perform and ended up staying to be Director of Composition at Hamburg Music Conservatory. He is credited for bringing German Lied music back to his home country, Cuba. He won the Franz Liszt Award in Paris. Julie grew up with her great aunt who played Titania in Max Reinhard's Midsummer Night's Dream in Berlin and her twin sister, Julie's grandmother, an obstetric nurse. Julie's mom is a retired high school Spanish and German teacher and her dad was a prolific poet who worked as a paper salesman. Julie's only brother is a public health physician, epidemiologist and occupational medicine doctor in Manhattan. Her godmother, blacklisted character actress Lily Valenty, introduced Julie to her first agent, Walter Kohner who immediately booked her as female lead in two European films for Filmverlaug in Berlin. Julie stayed in Europe to star in Basque director, Alfonso Ungria's film Africa. As a teenager, Julie worked as the resident choreographer at INTAR Theater in Manhattan when it was under the artistic direction of Cuban-American Max Ferra, choreographing the plays, 'Yoruba', 'Espetaculo Valle Inclan' and 'The Shoemaker's Prodigious Wife' by Lorca. At age 15 she danced with a friend's transvestite theater company in Sheyla Baykal's Palm Casino Review at the Bouwerie Lane Theater in New York and Gossamer Wings at Theater for a New City on Jane Street in Greenwich Village.

Born and raised in the "Brotherly Love" city of Philadelphia, Julie Chapin had a knack for grabbing attention at an early age. As a child, Julie performed plays for friends and neighbors and, by the age of 12, incorporated her entrepreneurial skills by creating puppet shows and hiring herself out at birthday parties for small children. By 16, Chapin was playing the Catskills and it was obvious to anyone who knew her that Hollywood was beckoning. Her parents were not so amused. They urged Chapin to pursue a career - "a real job" - which eventually she did, but not before enrolling in an acting class at Vassar College, conducted by none other than the legendary actress Jean Arthur, an experience she would never forget and which would serve her well in her future. During the next 30 years, Chapin worked as a corporate attorney. She eventually married, raised four children, and sent them off to college. Julie then retired from the corporate setting and went on to work in the non-profit world - for an organization that benefits children in the foster care system. As fulfilling as it was, she pondered of what would be the next chapter in her life. That's when she reflected on her past acting classes with Jean Arthur. Julie came back to the industry blazing! Within three short years, she would go on to perform in some 60+ productions, representing stage (The Vagina Monologues; Cupcake Cabaret; etc.), film (The Touchstone; See All the People; and more, including the award-winning films Soulmate; Smiley Face Killers; and Smoking Section), TV (I'll Kill for You; Monsters Inside Me; Celebrity Ghost Stories; etc.), and commercials (for HP, Kodak, Walmart, and many others). More recently, in addition to serving as producer/host for PetsCentral Media (LA/Hong Kong) and Princeton Public Access TV, Julie has been filming in Hollywood as the lovable, earthy widow Fannie Goldstein in the family adventure film Ghost Goggles, and in the recurring role of the tough classy widow Alexandra Levy in the new epic series Sangre Negra. It's been more than 30 years since Julie Chapin was told to 'get a real job.' And today this mother, wife and retiree is proving that the entertainment industry is where she belonged all along. For Julie Chapin, life is better the second time around.
