Kristen Ariza

Kristen is thrilled to return to the Alliance Theatre after graduating from its Acting Internship Program and having enjoyed many varied performances including A Christmas Carol directed by Kenny Leon. Most recently, she can be seen as a "business pro" in the National Car Rental campaign. Theatre highlights: It’s Just Sex (Two Roads Theatre, LA); Henry IV, Part 1; Macbeth (Georgia Shakespeare Festival); Measure for Measure (American Globe Theatre, NYC); Film/television highlights include: The Obama Effect (dir. Charles S. Dutton), guest appearances on Emily Owens, M.D., Harry’s Law, NCIS, Grey’s Anatomy, Raising the Bar, Criminal Minds, Friends, The Unit, Without a Trace and a recurring role on Lie to Me as Tim Roth’s plucky assistant Heidi. Kristen is a Florida State University School of Theatre grad, and proud member of Actor's Equity and SAG-AFTRA. Special thanks to Mom, Dad, Mona, Fred, her fiance Patrick and friends on both coasts.
