Melissa Ortiz

Hello, and welcome!  I'm a professionally trained Actor and Creator with an MFA in Acting from the National Theatre Conservatory in Denver, Colorado.  I've done mostly Theatre, but recently moved to LA to explore opportunities in Film, Television and Commercials. 

How do you cast me?  I'm the girl in the Arlo TV Commerical - At the Office.  I'm bubbly, I'm quirky, I've got a bright distinct voice, great comedy chops and an expressive face.  Like if Mary Louse Parker & Joan Cusack had a baby who sounded like Leslie Mann. And I'm Puerto Rican.

What do I create?  My husband, Christian Haines, and I have been producing theatre since 2009.  Primarily one night only short play events called SHOTZ.  Check us out at amioswest.org.
