About
ANDER DEL RIO is an actor-writer-storyteller and a proud graduate of Maggie Flanigan Studio's Two-Year Meisner Conservatory program. As an actor he starred in Andrew Barrett's "Rainy Days and Mondays" (DR2 theater, New York International Fringe Festival) which played to sold out houses and had its extended run at the Lion Theatre on 42nd Street. His regional theater credits include Jose Rivera's "Sonnets for an Old Century," and "The Tempest," both at Manbites Dog Theater in Durham, NC, near his alma mater of Duke University.
Ander is currently in the final revision process of his first novel, a work of magical realism set in Chile in the latter half of the 20th century.
“Then there is Ander del Rio as Paul. It would ruin the impact of the plot’s surprise and tensions for me to tell you too much about what happens with his character, but let me say that there are difficult challenges superbly met. Ander del Rio is magnetic and masterful. It’s a very rare actor who has the charisma and skill to pull you to, and make you care about, his character from the very instant he enters. Here’s one. Embodying two vastly different aspects of Paul (first, a sweet childlike quality with a soulfully bright light in his eyes shining through despite physical weakness-and then solid, unflinching strength), the actor is startlingly exciting. He commands and holds the stage in later scenes, even when he character is silent for long stretches. Be on the lookout for him.” - EDGE Review of Rainy Days and Mondays
