Hello! I’m Melissa Romero. I’m an actress currently based in The Bronx, New York.
I grew up dancing at a local studio, where I studied both classical and commercial dance styles. As much as I loved and still love dance, I found myself being drawn more and more into acting. I credit this (partially) to the Harry Potter films—Hufflepuff rules. I LOVED expressing myself through new and exciting characters and performing in school plays and musicals. I graduated from Fordham University with a B.A. in Television & Radio, and really discovered my passion for acting in an "Acting for Non-Majors" elective course. Ready to get to work, I began training in studios in NYC and acting in student films and local theater productions. Today, I love playing fiery and fierce female characters. I also adore comedy and making people cry-laugh—undoubtedly, a product of years of “Friends” re-runs. Without question, the acting industry is a tough one, but it's one I was born for. This Bronx girl is as tough as nails and isn't going to let anything stand in her way. Follow me on my journey to the big and small screen!
