However, her plans didn't come to fruition - something Ciara doesn't regret at all.

Early Roles

Ciara's acting career began at the age of 9. In 2007, under the guidance of Wings Model Management, Bravo participated in the Model and Talent Expo in Texas. Here, she impressed the judges and won several awards in various categories. In one interview, her future agent shared, "When I first saw Ciara on stage, I knew she was a star."

Ciara Bravo's career started at a young age

With the help of Wings Model Management, Ciara took part in her first commercial in her home state of Kentucky. After that, she lent her voice to several animated films and starred in two short films.

"I went to California in the summer and during the school year - I had a lot of auditions," recalls the young actress.

In 2009, Bravo took a small break. It was difficult to constantly leave for shooting and auditions at the other end of the continent. But she didn't have to stay in her hometown for long. The producers of the new musical series "Big Time Rush" on the Nickelodeon channel arranged an online casting for her, and 24 hours later, Ciara was already on the set in Los Angeles.

The series tells the story of four friends from Minnesota who dream of becoming famous musicians. Ciara played the role of Katie, the younger sister of Kendall (Kendall Schmidt), whose life is turned upside down after moving to Los Angeles. Like her character, Bravo understands what it's like to be away from friends and family. With the start of filming, she had to live in two cities and communicate with her father, brother, and sister mainly over the phone. "Luckily, - shared Ciara, - I was so busy that I had no time to miss home.

The series was a success among viewers and was extended for three more seasons, ending in 2013. In 2012, the young actress starred in the spin-off of the series, a feature film "Big Time Movie," in which the already familiar musicians embark on their first international tour to London.

The Rise of an Acting Career

Realizing that the world of film and television was her life choice, Ciara decided to study with the renowned American actor and teacher Larry Moss, who had previously worked with Leonardo DiCaprio, Hilary Swank, and other famous performers. For the sake of education and filming, Ciara momentarily put aside her dream of becoming a director, postponing her admission to film school.

Ciara's efforts and innate talent earned her a role in the comedy-drama series "Red Band Society" (2014-2015), which focuses on a group of teenagers in a pediatric ward. The actress portrayed a patient with anorexia, who wins the hearts of two boys. Also featured in the series were Octavia Spencer, Charlie Rowe, Mandy Moore, Bella Thorne, and others.
