An actress of Russian descent, Olesya Rulin is best known for a starring role in the hit Disney series of #High School Musical films. Introduced to the business upon winning a modeling competition at the age of 12, Rulin soon found herself wrapped up in the Disney hitmaking machine, with the role of Kelsi Nielsen in the immensely successful #High School Musical movies taking precedence. Her next big breaks came when she landed roles opposite Jessica Simpson (in the film #Major Movie Star) and Billy Ray Cyrus (in the drama #Flying By). ~ Chris True, Rovi
