Alberto and the Concrete Jungle

Alejandro Santoni is a Puerto Rican actor forged in struggle, identity, and purpose. Born in Mayagüez and trained in New York, he holds a master’s in acting and brings the rhythm of the island and the depth of a lived-in soul to every role.

He broke out in Alberto and the Concrete Jungle, earning Best Actor at the 13th Annual Bushwick Film Festival and critical acclaim for his charisma, nuance, and authenticity:

“Santoni’s work is a testament to the actor’s craft. It is deft, funny, poignant and rich. He creates a three-dimensional, fully realized human being.” — IMDb

“Alejandro Santoni carries the film on his shoulders with ease. His charisma and sensitivity as an actor are magnetic.” — Film Inquiry

“Santoni is effortlessly charming and makes the near 2-hour runtime bearable.” — Film Threat

“Santoni’s performance is sincere, spontaneous, and full of heart. He gives Alberto a soul.” — UK Film Review

He has also appeared on CBS's FBI, portraying cartel figure Jorge Madrigal, showcasing his ability to command darker, high-stakes roles with nuance and strength.

But Alejandro is not just an actor — he is a voice, a creator, and a necessary presence in an industry that has too often erased Puerto Rican men. His performances are powered by urgency: the pressure of a father chasing a dream, the fire of someone who refuses to be silenced, and the belief that storytelling is revolution.

Now based in Los Angeles, Santoni is ready to lead. He is not asking for permission. He’s taking the space that has always been his.
