ALFREDO J. RUIZ
ACTOR
PC: TONY MOUX
JUST FINISHED: Collins & Wickham in Pride & Prejudice at Cleveland Play House directed by Michael Barakiva.
I'm Alfredo, an actor and creative based between New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. I am at my best when performing off-beat characters that are obsessive and pretty much psychotic.
I focus a lot of my energy on TV/Film, bedroom farces, and creating my own work. I write and produce independent films, mount my own live shows, and record music at my home studio.
FILMHeart Clouds (2023)
Alfredo wrote, produced, and starred in Heart Clouds, a romantic drama exploring toxic relationships and buried guilt.
‘Til Death (2020)
Alfredo was nominated as "Best Actor" for his performance in the award winning nightmare comedy 'Til Death at the international Indie Short Fest, Los Angeles. He was in the running with top performers from around the world, including Kevin Bacon.
THEATREIn Miami, Alfredo’s stage work was mostly immersive theatre. World premiers like 7 Deadly Sins, directed by Michel Hausmann/Moises Kaufman (Miami New Drama) and Wynwood Stories, directed by Tai Thompson (Juggerknot Theatre Co.).
While in Cleveland, Alfredo worked primarily as an actor at the Cleveland Play House (The Play That Goes Wrong, Pride & Prejudice, Amadeus).
Now, however, Alfredo’s prime theatrical interests have been performing in contemporary comedies, classical theatre, and his own explosive solo work.
Alfredo has found a lot of dissatisfaction in the modern theatre and has recently begun creating his own work that blurs the lines between reality and performance. His most recent work: Chicken Finger is a wholesome one man comedy show.
Alfredo has a knack for British farces. Here’s some footage of him playing Max in The Play That Goes Wrong at Cleveland Play House directed by Melissa Rain Anderson.

MUSIC
Alfredo has married musicality with his dramatic imagination to produce Adult Programming. A solo project that exorcises the collective anxiety plaguing two of the most disenchanted generations in American history: Millennials and Gen Z.
For his debut EP, Alfredo got the opportunity to work with, indie pop legend and personal hero, Kevin Barnes from of Montreal on Guilty Party.
Alfredo has been commissioned to sound design for various theatrical productions and films using his original music (Cleveland Play House, Willow Theatre, Tenderenda Theatre, Pioneer Winter Collective, Silver Tounged Stages).
