LAURISHA YNIGUEZ

I’m an army brat with a bi-racial madre and split my time in LA/NYC. Emmy Award-winning Casting Director Pat Moran is a fan! She called me directly for two Guest Star roles on We Own This City (HBO) and Lady in the Lake (Apple+), playing opposite Natalie Portman. Growing up as a sister to an autistic brother, I discovered early that acting could change lives. My brother used to be non-verbal until we started reenacting classic Disney scenes. He learned to speak, and I understood the power of storytelling.
