Isabel De La Cruz is a Puerto Rican actress born in Santurce, Puerto Rico. At a very young age, she expressed interest for the arts. By the age of six, her favorite hobby was drawing. She was also a very active child so she spent most of her childhood playing sports and practicing martial arts. Isabel discovered her passion for acting at the age of 11 and became a part of her school's theater club. However, she also loved math and science and, since an acting career was not feasible at the time, she decided to pursue a career in Science. She got admitted to the University of Puerto Rico in Humacao, where she studied three years of Computational Mathematics, but because she realized she didn't want to pursue a career where she had to sit on a computer all day (again, she was an active child), she transferred to the University of Illinois to become a Neuroscientist. In 2012, she obtained her Bachelor's degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology, but dedicated her spare time to writing, drawing, and scientific research. After three winters in the Midwest, Isabel decided she had seen enough snow, so she moved to Florida. It was there where she decided to give her acting dream "a shot". While she was working at a lab, she enrolled in the Meisner Master Program at Truthful Acting Studios and fell in love with acting all over again. It was in Orlando where she got her first lead (and stunts) role as Officer Sarah Thompson in the independent featured film The Awakening. She also participated in the play "Los Clavos Y La Cruz", where she played the role of the Samaritan Woman. When the play was over, a lady from the audience hugged her and thanked her for her performance. This moved Isabel so deeply that she decided to make acting her only career, so she left her science job, packed her car with everything she could fit, and moved to Atlanta, GA. In Atlanta, Isabel has been training with different teachers, including Robert Pralgo and Sherrie Peterson, among others. She has worked on multiple films and TV series, including MacGyver, Insatiable, Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda, #Murder, Murder Calls, Relics of the Madre Vena, Midnight Carnival, Between, Aborted, He Who Laughs... Again, and the Spanish short film La Piñata. She has also become a part of the theater community and has been a part of the Onion Man Production's Summer Harvest 2015 and 2016 where she played the roles of 'Deb' on How Penny Got Her Pep Back, and 'Mary Ludwig Hayes / Molly Pitcher' on Crossing the Delaware, respectively. In 2016, she was also a part of the play The Secret of Shahrazad, where she played the role of 'Servant to Shahrazad'. In 2018, she rejoined the Onion Man Productions, to present the stage reading State of Disunion, where she played the roles of 'Melissa' in How to Undo Thousands of Years of Female Oppression and 'Christopher Columbus' in Rubble Without a Cause. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Isabel De La Cruz
