Daveigh Chase was born on the 24th July 1990 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. She is an actress, singer and voice over artist. She wanted to perform from a very early age and began singing and dancing in her hometown and other local areas at community events and shows. One of the things which inspired her was watching videos of Barney & Friends when she was four years old. "I wanted to be like them, the kids on the video," she later said. Her father then entered her in a Little Miss America Pageant where she won the national vocal competition. Following her success, she was then signed by an agent who specialised in commercials and at the age of 7, she appeared in a Campbells Soup advertisement. Her first film role came in 1998 when she won the lead role as the voice of a Hawaiian girl, Lilo Pelekai, in the Disney animated feature, Lilo & Stitch. For her performance, she would go on to win an Annie Award for it in 2003 and star in the follow up TV series. In 2001, she won the role as the voice of the lead character, a 10 year old Japanese girl, in the American dub of the animated Japanese feature, Spirited Away. At the current time, the Internet Movie Database rates the movie the best animated movie of all time and the 49th best film of all time. The film would go on to win the 2002 Best Animated Feature Oscar.
