Alfredo Ruiz
Actor
Welcome to my corner of the internet. I'm Alfredo, an American-Cuban actor who loves approaching character through physicality.
I'm currently working toward my MFA in Acting at Cleveland Play House/Case Western Reserve.
If you're reading this, Ari Aster, I want to play the next cursed character in that A24 nightmare-comedy you've been dreaming of. If that doesn't work out, Joseph Kosinski, I would settle for Top Gun: Maverick II.
I'll be moving to NYC in the summer of 2024 to start working in the TV/Film industry.
Some favorite films of mine I'm dying to be in the remake of:
American Psycho (Christian Bale)
Lars and the Real Girl (Ryan Gosling)
Whiplash (Miles Teller)
Jarhead (Jake Gyllenhaal)
