Cassandra Naud

Cassandra Naud is a Canadian actress and dancer, born on April 16, 1992, in Fort McMurray, Alberta. She is widely recognized for her breakthrough role as the antagonist CW in the Shudder horror-thriller film Influencer (2022) and for reprising the role in its sequel, Influencers (2025). Her performance in Influencer was critically praised, earning her comparisons to a "social media Tom Ripley." Naud’s professional journey began in dance; she trained from the age of five and attended the Bachelor of Fine Arts program for dance and theater at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in Los Angeles, graduating in 2014. She worked as a professional dancer, including appearing in Leona Lewis's music video "Fire Under My Feet." Naud was born with a large nevus birthmark under her right eye, which she and her family chose not to have removed due to the associated risks, and she has publicly embraced her unique appearance, viewing it as a positive and memorable aspect of her identity, despite experiencing some bullying in her youth. Her acting credits also include the slasher film It's a Wonderful Knife (2023) and television roles in series such as Snowpiercer and See.
