ABOUT

Alexandra Castro is an actress, producer, writer, model and self-proclaimed intermediate cook from San Antonio, Texas, whose work centers Latine and Indigenous stories. She is the founder of Necia Productions, a company developing projects for film, television, theatre, and audio.

On screen, Alex has played co-star roles on Law & Order (recurring), City on a Hill, and FBI: Most Wanted. On stage, she produced and co-starred in Neil LaBute's biting body-image drama Fat Pig, funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, and was cast in the Off-Broadway digital production of Nilsa Reyna's Legends of Texas, presented by Primary Stages.

As a producer, Alex has been a longtime champion of playwright David Davila's work, producing and co-starring in a digital workshop of Aztec Pirates and the Inequity of Sacrifice, a workshop production of Aztec Pirates and the Insignificance of Life on Mars, and a staged reading of The Piñata. She also served as executive producer on SweetNess, a musical short film written and directed by Vanessa Rae Lerma, and produced the short documentary F*ck the Choreography, about a dance studio close to her heart.

As a writer, Alex studied with legendary TV writer Brent Forrester (The Simpsons, The Office) and has written two plays, two half-hour comedy pilots and.a short film.

Alex trained in performance at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and has studied with Tony-nominated producer Heather Provost and Rockette Alyssa Lemons. A proud body-positive advocate, she walked in SmartGlamour's Spring and Fall runway shows during New York Fashion Week from 2016 through 2019, along with Brooklyn Night Out and The Pink Carpet. In 2018, Bustle featured her in its Must Follow series, Latinx Edition, for Latinx Heritage Month.

Alex moved to New York City in 2012 and now calls Brooklyn home. When she's not on set or in the rehearsal room, you'll probably find her dancing to "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" in her bedroom, rewatching The Office, or working her way up from intermediate cook.

Miss Castro also would like everyone to know her love for the San Antonio Spurs is NOT a joke and will attack when she is crossed about it. Alex also once drunkenly met one of her idols, Idina Menzel. "It was magical!"

"She is a smart, talented, hard working, and passionate actress who takes adjustments readily and understands the work she does from a broad perspective. She has taken advantage of some wonderful training opportunities and absorbs everything like a sponge. She is one of the hardest working people I have ever met. She is an amazingly bright, open, gracious, and beautiful girl and is extremely passionate about learning."
