Ashley Alvarez
actress & writer
Hii!
I’m a bilingual LA-based actor.
Cuban-American born & raised in Miami, FL.
Professionally trained in NYC.
I bring a colorful and dark sense of humor to everything I do. Think the Latina Kathryn Hahn.
I’ve performed professionally all across the country and popped up on Law & Order and Search Party.
My deepest fulfillment comes from creating and starring in my work. My short film Crabs in a Barrel is streaming on HBO, and I’m in development on the feature version, supported by The Sundance Institute.
I’m a classic middle child.
Pisces.
And corgi momma.
“Alvarez is excellent... she balances the tricky character, who is loving but tightly wound.”

Over the moon to have recently made my La Jolla Playhouse debut with the world premiere of the engrossing drama DERECHO.

Catch me as a recurring role in the final season of Search Party! To be a part of a show I have fan-girled over is literally a dream come true!

A New York Actors Milestone! Learning from these seasoned and generous professionals was the most inspiring experience.
Law & Order
“Alvarez’s Christy is a dynamo...Her hurt at the ongoing disconnect with Martica, her sense of her mother’s perpetual disapproval, is palpable.”
