ABOUT

Alyssa is a first-generation Mexican-American actress of Spanish and German ancestry from Houston, Texas. She was born to parents Ben, a software engineer and Sandra Rodriguez, a customer service representative for respected companies.

She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Houston, majoring in Broadcast Journalism and Marketing. There, she hosted the on-campus talk show Intuition and interned at the ABC News affiliate, KTRK, studied abroad and was a member of Delta Zeta Sorority. She has a passion for continued learning and understanding and has completed courses via both UCLA Extension and Harvard Extension programs.

Alyssa has guest starred on a number of television shows, most notably Grey's Anatomy, Shameless, Lonestar 911, Famous in Love and more. In addition to television, she’s starred in national holiday commercials, voice dubbed multiple Netflix series and an dubbed the Italian Netflix Film, Marilyns Eyes Are Black, and loves to work in theatre.

She continues to stay inspired and maintain her commitment to growth and studies with Stuart Rogers in North Hollywood.

Alyssa received acclaim for her performances in original play Tales From The Powder Room and a production of Mr. Marmalade with one critic saying, "Alyssa Rodriguez and Tyler Seiple both shine in their respective roles of Lucy's mother and Mr. Marmalade's personal assistant. Theirs are the play's most realistic roles that Rodriguez and Seiple most believable nail... Rodriguez, with her effective comic chops, also scores as Lucy's disinterested teenage babysitter Emily... Would love to see the rest of the cast, especially Rodriguez and Seiple, in another show..."

In addition to acting, Alyssa is also an accomplished makeup artist and supports many actors, seasoned and green for their red carpet events, premiers, and headshot sessions and demo reels. She also has a beauty blog, Look The Part Book The Part, where shares her favorite beauty products to be camera ready and shares inspiration and lessons from industry experience.

She’s fortunate to split her time between Los Angeles and Houston, Texas and has a growing affinity for travel.

Alyssa’s currently writing and developing her own projects, some on her own and in collaboration with other artists.
