Who Is Chase Infiniti? What to Know About One Battle After Another Actress

There’s a new It Girl in Hollywood, and it’s One Battle After Another’s breakout star, Chase Infiniti.

The actress captivated audiences with her role of Willa Ferguson/Charlene Calhoun in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2025 action thriller alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor.

For Infiniti, making her film debut was her biggest dream, and she was among great company on set.

“This is all that I’ve ever wanted to do: be in an action movie, have fight choreography,” she told Variety of the opportunity in October 2025. “You can’t make this up. I literally get to do the things I grew up watching on the screen.”

Starring as DiCaprio’s onscreen daughter admittedly left Infiniti “mindblown.”

“I remember getting told that I was going to meet him in a chemistry read, and then, finding out that I booked the job and that I would be working with him, I was like, ‘What do you mean I’m going to be acting opposite Leonardo DiCaprio?’ That truly blew my mind,” she told Taylor in a joint piece for Interview Magazine in September 2025.
