Alexis Vanegas

Alexis Vanegas is a Mexican actor born in Mexico City whose career has developed between Mexico and the United States across television, film, theater, and independent productions. His first experiences in the entertainment industry began in Mexico, where he worked in commercials and advertising projects. In 2010, he traveled to Guatemala to take part in Ciudad Vintage, a production by Guatemalan fashion house Saúl E. Méndez held along Paseo de la Sexta in Guatemala City’s historic center. Vanegas participated in a photo shoot specifically conceived for the event’s visual presentation, with images of his face projected on a large scale during the fashion show. After settling in South Florida, Vanegas formally began pursuing his acting career, initially working in theater and independent audiovisual productions. One of his first professional on-camera projects was Somewhere Else (2015), in which he played Aleko. The production became the inaugural series of iaSeries, a platform built around an interactive fiction concept that allowed audiences to influence the direction of its stories. Producer Kevin Canache approached Vanegas and actress Isis Carranza with the project, which would ultimately serve as the platform’s launch.
