About

Lisa Rodríguez was born and raised in Los Angeles to hard working parents.  Often times, her grandmother, who only spoke Spanish, would watch her resulting in Lisa’s first language to be Spanish.  Her mixed ethnic heritage (Mexican, Native American, and several others) lends to her ethnic ambiguity.

After her parents' divorce when she was eight, her mother had their family attend the historic Angelus Temple.  It was there that she got her first taste of performing through singing in the children’s choir and acting in musicals in front of a live audience of over 1,000 people.  And she has loved it ever since.  

Most recently, Lisa played Sedna in An Artic Tale with the North by South theatre company.  BBC World came out and scouted their performance opening weekend.  They made it all the way to the final cut for a docu-series.  She was also honored to be cast in the Actors Co-op off season production of Ruthie And Me.

Performing in front of an audience will always have a special place in her heart, but most recently, Lisa has focused on performing in front of the camera.  Understanding acting for camera is different than stage, she has taken various positions behind the camera to better understand the actor’s role.  As a result, she has penned short films & features, and is currently working on her passion project, Something Strong Within.

Lisa graduated from UCLA with a degree in Classical Civilization, but first studied Marine Biology. She is an active competitive archer, competing & placing in local, state, regional, national & international tournaments.  She is also a contributor to Joseph Gordon Levitt’s hitRECord.org and hitRECord TV, which garnered an Emmy. She has lent her to voice to the PIHOP Worthy of It All album and as part of the simulcasted performance with the Azusa Now choir at the LA Coliseum which was streamed worldwide. Lisa has performed in various film, theater, commercial, and voiceover productions.

When not performing, Lisa enjoys spending time with her family & friends, learning, sharpening her archery skills, reading/collecting Rogue from the X-men comics, and one of her earliest & most passionate loves, The Legend of Zelda.
