Mark Sanchez has been married to Perry Mattfeld for two years.

Mattfeld was born and raised in Long Beach, California.

In an interview with the Golden Globes, the actress and producer revealed she started ballet "very young."

"My Mom is Hispanic, my Dad is just a big, tall white dude," she said of her parents when asked about her background and how she got into acting.

Mattfeld continued: "And there's a grandma, or some great uncle or great aunt or someone who was an opera singer, but I don't have any immediate family in the industry. So that was never something that was really encouraged. I was in ballet for a while, then I did community theater, and my Mom had me take piano and singing lessons, just because I was performing on the more creative spectrum."

Mattfeld told the Golden Globes she was 12 years old when a friend's mother asked her mom if she wanted to bring her to an audition for the American Girl tour.

"My Mom was like, 'Well, Perry has never really done anything like that, but sure.' I ended up booking it as Kit and Kirsten for 3 years, a tour of the American Girl revue about these dolls coming to life. And I did 169 shows, and that was my first professional job, as an employee of Mattel, at 12," she revealed.

In the years thereafter, she expanded her acting portfolio by starring on TV shows and films like The Girl in the Flammable Skirt, A Little White Lie, The Wizards of Waverly Place, Secret Diary of an American Cheerleader, Escape from Polygamy, and Stitches. She was also part of productions like Ms. Allen's World Premiere Musical and Alex in Wonderland.
