Biography

About Grace McClung

Edited by the community

Grace McClung is an American actress, cosplayer, and model. Born in Westlake Village, California, she grew up in a household where craftsmanship was central; her father, Kevin "Mad Dog" McClung, is a well-known custom knife maker and weapons researcher. Her parents moved the family to the Tehachapi Mountains when Grace was an infant, where they started MD Labs, better known as Mad Dog Knives. About four years later, the family, including her brother August and sisters Heather and Morgan, relocated to the Prescott area of Arizona, where her youngest sister Amy was born two years later. Grace remained in Prescott until she moved to Los Angeles at 19 to pursue acting.

As a child in Arizona, Grace loved in-line skating and was the only girl on an in-line hockey team. She later took up in-line speed skating and competed on a team for two years, and she still enjoys skating whenever she can. She was homeschooled, as were her siblings, with performing arts, art, and dance as her favorite subjects. Until she was 12, her mother ran a dance studio where Grace studied tap and jazz. As a teenager, she became an accomplished belly dancer, studying under a performer associated with a local professional tribal belly dancing troupe. She is also a naturally gifted artist who loves drawing, painting, and sculpting. She learned to weld at her father's shop and soon began sculpting in scrap metal; her second sculpture, Dragon in Repose, was auctioned for over $200. Grace continues to dabble in art in her spare time.

Deciding at 15 that she wanted to act, Grace attended the John Roberts School of Acting and Modeling in Scottsdale, Arizona, for three years, where she studied acting, modeling, and hip-hop dance. After moving to Los Angeles, she began training in kickboxing with five-time world champion Kathy Long and has since continued in various martial arts, including Kempo Karate. Her first paid acting job was a commercial co-starring role. She has since played lead roles in three short films and worked as background talent in movies, TV shows, commercials, and music videos. She stands 5'3" and has an Instagram following of 480k.
