Show business is not exactly fun and games as it looks from the outside. All we see is the glamour and the glitz of the business, but there is a dark side to the whole thing, and it takes a lot to make sure you are not swallowed by the darkness.

Kerris, it seems, is meant to be under the glaring lights of the attention and the camera of the show business. It is because her grandfather was a famous musician Thomas Dorsey who showed a template of how to make it in the industry.

Sibling Tag Team

Kerris is the second daughter of her parents, and she was born more than two years after her big sister Justine Dorsey was born. And like the small sister, the big sister also took some steps in the show business and also appeared in projects together.

The siblings were together in the show 'Brothers & Sisters,' where she was a regular, and she also sang the song 'Best Worst Day Ever' for the movie her sister was starring in. Through it seems Justine did not pursue the acting career as hard as her smaller sister, which is why her last acting credit was in 2009.

The young actress also started to learn how to read paper music, and her mother signed her up for guitar lessons, which was more suited for the young actress.
