Toppling gatekeep-y, conventional nonsense one bold expression at a time.

Who's She
Melanie Civetta
“I've been fighting; I've been striving...”
– Lana Del Rey
​
​
"Sharp, stylish, & impossible to count out."
Melanie is an NYC-based actress & producer that always "gets her man." She LIVES to play characters that are always 2 steps ahead-- very "not-my-first-rodeo," very demure (is that still funny?).
​
Melanie being "resourceful- or maybe "practical?" - is an understatement. She knew she was going to SUNY Purchase for Acting since 8th grade because it was "affordable" and right near NYC-the dream for a gal from central NY!
After Purchase- where she interned at Endeavor Talent Agency (before it was WME!) and directed an avant grade version of Euripides Medea- she learned about film & tv acting by diving headfirst into NYC film production.
Over dozens, hundreds?- of commercials, music videos, films, tv shows, etc. she worked Production, Wardrobe, Costumes, Make-up, A.D. depts, and more. One more notable gig was at SNL Film Unit (szns 42-47) as Production Coordinator promoted from 1st Team P.A --do you know how hard it is to claw your way up THAT chain of command?? STORIES, GURL-but her lips are zipped. She puts it in her art. ;)
​
That sharp-witted, savvy DRIVE is what you see shine through onscreen no matter what role Melanie is playing.
