Like the classic talents of the big and small screens, Chase Masterson possesses a rare versatility that makes her one of Hollywood's quickly rising stars.

SCI-FI UNIVERSE Magazine is honoring Chase as one of the top 20 people to watch in Hollywood in the December Issue of the magazine. Chase stars as Commanding Officer Callie O'Grady in the upcoming Stephen King-based thriller "Ice Station: Erebus" due out by Tri-Mark Entertainment later this year. Chase can be seen recurring in her 5th Season on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," and starring alongside Bridget Wilson in the upcoming fantasy feature, "Marina,". Chase has been seen in FOX's hot episodic, "Sliders," and a series regular in the interactive soap EON 4 on the World-Wide Web. Other guest appearances include, a recurring role on "General Hospital" and the nighttime drama, "Acapulco Heat."

Chase was the featured Guest Star on ER's Emmy-winning episode, "Hell and High Water." In the same season, Chase was seen recurring on UPN's "Live Shot." Chase was also named the co-host of Showtime's Saturday night program, "Showtime Nighttime."

Chase's versatility is evident in an overview of her work. In direct contrast to some of her lighter roles, Chase portrays a strong, gritty, military police officer, in "Ice Station: Erebus." After 3 hours of make-up, she becomes Leeta, "Deep Space Nine's" young, sweet and sexy intergalactic casion girl, whose good looks and figure-flattering attire can't help but keep the crew distracted from her brains and focused on her beautry. 'Leeta' was intended to be a walk on character with four lines four seasons ago, but fan response has played a part in her returning ever since. Conversely, Chase's work on "Live Shot" caught the eye of UPN as a frustrated wife living with a marriage that is slowly deteriorating. As a computer generated girl on "Showtime Nighttime," Chase kept viewers' attention with comedic banter and sarcastic one-liners. Finally, Chase's role as the first parent to lose a child on "ER" brought her into the spotlight as that episode's ratings topped the highest-ever ratings of episodic television.

A fan favorite, Chase can also be seen starring with Former CIA head William Colby in the CD Rom, "Spycraft: The Great Game," and in various feature films including "Digital Man," "In a Moment of Passion," and "Married People, Single Sex," for which she was nominated for a Drive-In Academy Award.

Chase's ability continues to be redefined, with each project. With her versatile strength and natural good looks, Chase is continuing to turn heads in Hollywood. 1
