“To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable." – Beethoven.

I am Max Santiago Alvarado, a first-generation Latino immigrant with a lifelong dedication to the creative arts, based in Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Growing up immersed in theater, creative writing, symphonic orchestras, DCI/WGI circuits, and chamber choirs, I’ve transformed my extensive performance background and life experiences into a career in directing and acting for both screen and microphone. My skills and creative vision have given me a distinctive edge, allowing me to advance quickly. I’m always eager to collaborate with other actors and filmmakers to create works we can be proud of.
