Carys Is Following In Her Parent’s Footsteps
GettyAccording to People, Carys graduated from Brown University in 2025 with a degree in Film and International Relations. Speaking to the outlet at the 2025 PAC NYC Icons of Culture Gala in October 2025, which she attended with her father, she opened up about her passions for the arts and plans to pursue an entertainment career.
“I grew up doing theater, and I didn’t study acting in school, but that’s why I’m happy to be in such an informative arts space, so hopefully more of that,” she shared.
Carys has already shown her acting chops, starring in the 2024 short film “[Expletive] That Guy,” featuring “You” star Victoria Pedretti. The young and upcoming actress also starred in the 2025 short film “Shell,” playing the lead role of Aria Weathers.
A synopsis for the film reads, “Plagued by writer’s block, Aria Weathers turns to an innovative program designed to extract creative content from her dreams. Inside of the program, Aria forges a partnership with fellow writer Hannah, and they begin to draft a new novel. Outside of the program, Aria remembers nothing of her dreams–until she resolves to find out what is happening inside her mind.”
