Alan Pontes

Alan Adriel Pontes was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He is the oldest of three brothers born to radio host Adrian Pontes and hair stylist Natalia Guillen. His parents are of Portuguese and Italian descent. From an early age, Alan developed a love for the arts growing up in a musical family where his father played the saxophone and his mother played the guitar. By the age of ten, Alan's family relocated from Argentina to the US due to his father's involvement in the radio entertainment industry. His father's success lead the family to move to Texas and Georgia before settling down in Miami, Florida. In 2014, Alan was scouted by a South Florida commercial agent and started going out to auditions. Having booked his first commercial job within the first two weeks of being signed, he started developing a deeper interest in pursuing acting as a career. After two years of continued success with modeling and commercial jobs in Miami, Alan decided to relocate to New York in order to transition into TV & Film while taking classes at Stella Adler Studio, aiming to refine his acting technique and further develop his skill set.
