Alejandro Santoni
- Actor
- Producer
Alejandro Santoni is a Puerto Rican actor forged in struggle, identity, and purpose. Born in Mayagüez and trained in New York, he holds a master's in acting and brings the rhythm of the island and the depth of a lived-in soul to every role.
He broke out in Alberto and the Concrete Jungle, earning Best Actor at the 13th Annual Bushwick Film Festival and critical acclaim for his charisma, nuance, and authenticity:
"Santoni's work is a testament to the actor's craft. It is deft, funny, poignant and rich. He creates a three-dimensional, fully realized human being." - IMDb
"Santoni is effortlessly charming and makes the near 2-hour runtime bearable." - Film Threat
"But what the film does have in spades is undeniable charm and heart, personified in a stellar lead performance from Santoni that covers the whole spectrum of the human spirit and keeps us with him both in his best moments and his worst." - UK Film Review
He has also appeared on CBS's FBI, portraying cartel figure Jorge Madrigal, showcasing his ability to command darker, high-stakes roles with nuance and strength.
But Alejandro is not just an actor - he is a voice, a creator, and a necessary presence in an industry that has too often erased Puerto Rican men. His performances are powered by urgency: the pressure of a father chasing a dream, the fire of someone who refuses to be silenced, and the belief that storytelling is revolution.
Now based in Los Angeles, Santoni is ready to lead. He is not asking for permission. He's taking the space that has always been his.
