Elyse Alberts

Like many children, Elyse spent her childhood fighting crime as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and starring on a garage-stage on Thanksgiving with her five sisters. These performances planted the seed for her love of theater, film acting, and modeling. She was motivated along the way by her idols: Elyse is convinced that she reached her height by focusing daily on "being 5'8" like Cindy Crawford," and one of her goals is to someday portray Ava Gardner. Thanks to her study of linguistics, Arabic, and Spanish, she easily picks up accurate accents. Her background in dance and athletics enables her to embody grace and femininity as easily as tough, edgy strength. Her emotional range spans from meek to dominant, comedy to poignant drama, and anything in between. Her Russian-Moroccan heritage affords her a range of ethnic flexibility in character portrayals, including Caucasian, Italian, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern. Elyse starred in the independent films Dogf***ers, which won Best Comedy a
