Cyia Batten as Alex in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: The Beginning
A classically trained dancer, Cyia Batten (Alex) expanded her studies to include acting and never looked back. Applying the same drive and focus needed to become a professional ballerina, her career in television and film took off immediately and continues to flourish.
In 2005, she won the Best Actress Award for her performance in the surreal thriller Cookers at Screamfest in Los Angeles. The film also won several awards at the Milan Film Festival. Recently she costarred in the thriller American Crime with Annabella Sciorra, Cary Elwes, Kip Pardue and Rachel Leigh Cook. Her other feature film appearances include the mystery Black and White, starring Gina Gershon and Alison Eastwood, and Paramount's Senseless, starring Marlon Wayans and David Spade. As a dancer, she can be seen in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, The Sweetest Thing and Bubble Boy.
Batten has also starred in several telefilms, including At Any Cost with James Franco, and Sins of the Mind with Jill Clayburgh. She has also guest starred on such series as CSI, CSI: NY, NYPD Blue, Strong Medicine, The Guardian, and Profiler, and had a recurring role on Star Trek: Deep Space 9.
Batten was an original member of the enormously popular Pussycat Dolls, with which she danced throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia. Prior to that, she danced at Lincoln Center in The Nutcracker. She also danced the title role in Festival of the Siren, which aired live on television throughout Europe, and in Aida with the Teatro Comunale di Firenze.
Batten studied dance at several institutions in New York City, including the prestigious School of American Ballet, and the New York State School of the Arts, in which she was one of 50 students accepted from a pool of a thousand applicants.
Cyia is also co-owner of the recently launched line of jewelry "T. Cyia" that has been featured in Lucky, In Touch and Us Weekly magazines. The line is a sought-after favorite in the Hollywood crowd.
