Apple TV’s Presumed Innocent arrives as a tense legal drama anchored by a high-caliber cast, led by the acclaimed Jake Gyllenhaal. Among the new faces is Chase Infiniti, who makes her television debut as Jaden Sabich, the daughter of Gyllenhaal’s character, and immediately draws attention in a prominent supporting role.
Before stepping onto the small screen, Chase sharpened her craft at Columbia College Chicago. Her work at the 2022 Senior Showcase — notably scenes from Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 and selections from Purlie: The Musical — earned strong notices, and with this high-profile series added to her resume, she’s clearly emerging as a rising presence in Hollywood.
Family Background, Early Years and Education
Chase was born in May 2000 in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Kim Able Payne and Keith “Kip” Payne. Since 1993, Keith has served as the Managing Member of ARHI Bldg & Remodeling in Indianapolis, where he focuses on designing and building sustainable, market-rate housing.
Keith earned a Bachelor of Arts in Urban Regional Development and Urban Regional Planning & Design, with a concentration in Real Estate, from Dillard University. Kim brings a strong interest in nutrition and wellbeing—she is passionate about a plant-based lifestyle and committed to health and wellness, which influences the family’s day-to-day life.
Kim, who is white, and Keith, who is black, have maintained a close relationship since their marriage on November 9, 1996.
The couple often shares photos of one another on social media, a testament to a long-standing bond and mutual affection that has grown stronger over time.
Raised in a home shaped by Christian values, Keith and Kim supported their children closely. The family of four—including Chase’s sister, Dolcé Imani—remains tightly knit and quick to celebrate each other’s successes; their pride in Chase’s accomplishments is evident in many posts.
Chase graduated from North Central High School and went on to study the performing arts at Columbia College Chicago. In 2022, she earned a BFA in Musical Theatre Performance. Currently single, she is concentrating fully on her acting career, which continues to gain momentum.
From Stage Beginnings to On-Screen Breakthrough
Chase’s move into television didn’t start with her appearance in Presumed Innocent; her performance career began in high school, where she built her skills through a string of stage roles.
She also took part in community and regional productions, including Eclipse’s production of Violet at the Phoenix Theatre and Disney’s The Little Mermaid at the North Shore Center.

Beyond acting, Chase has trained in vocal technique, musical-theatre dance and tap, and maintains ongoing acting study. Her skill set extends to K-pop choreography, fluent French, kickboxing, scuba diving, and acrobatic work.
After her noteworthy turn in Presumed Innocent, she landed a leading part in a major motion picture. Paul Thomas Anderson has cast her in his forthcoming adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s novel “Vineland,” updated to a contemporary setting.
Industry chatter also links her to a role as the daughter of characters played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Regina Hall, a rumor that has circulated on social media platforms online.
With a smooth progression from school and regional theatre to television and now feature film, Chase appears set for a significant career. Both audiences and professionals in the industry are watching closely to see what she does next.
