ALYSIA REINER

Alysia is best know for her role as Natalie "Fig" Figueroa, the tough-as-nails assistant warden everyone loves to hate on NETFLIX's hit series ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK. Alysia won a SAG award as part of the amazing ensemble cast, and you can see her in all 4 binge-worthy seasons, and she is currently filming Season 5. You can also catch her as Sunny in the new F/X show BETTER THINGS, brought to you by the inimitable Louie CK & Pamela Adlon, and in Season 4 of SHOWTIMES's MASTERS OF SEX. Additionally, she plays D.A. PARKS in Shonda Rhimes' hit HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, Lilian Izikoff on ROSEWOOD, and Fiona in Michael Showalter's new TNT series SEARCH PARTY.

On the film front, Alysia stars with Anna Gunn in EQUITY, the first ever female driven Wall Street film, which she also produced. The film premiered at Sundance in January 2016, was acquired by SONY PICTURES CLASSICS and was in theaters nationwide. EQUITY is Alysia's first feature as actress and producer, but already in 2016, she stars in SCHOOL SPIRITS, SHINE, and she just wrapped Whitney Cummings' THE FEMALE BRAIN. She feels so blessed to have worked with so many film masters from Alexander Payne in the Oscar winning SIDEWAYS, to Jodie Foster, to the amazing Meera Menon-- the director of EQUITY.

Alysia loves working as a change maker for women, and has been invited to THE WHITE HOUSE, THE UNITED NATIONS, S.H.E. SUMMIT, GOOGLE, and CANNES LION to speak about breaking barriers for women in all fields. Additionally, she was awarded the SARAH POWELL HUNTINGTON LEADERSHIP AWARD by the Women's Prison Association, and in 2016 will be honored with the VOICE OF A WOMAN AWARD, the PIONEER IN FILMMAKING AWARD, and the FOUNDERS AWARD FOR SUPPORT. She was recognized as an INTELLIGENT OPTIMIST in Ode Magazine and profiled by New York Women in Film and Television as a woman to watch. Please follow her on all social media because she loves to share inspiring & funny stuff. (Also she is deeply insecure and it makes her feel like people virtually care about her.)
