Actor

Lymaries Velez reads people for a living — as a psychiatrist by training, and as a character actor by calling. Bilingual in English and Spanish, character-driven, based in Los Angeles.

Lymaries Velez has been an actor since before she was a doctor. She came to the craft first — trained, performed, built a feel for character — then stepped away to complete her psychiatric medical training. Now she's back, fully committed, and the years in the clinic didn't go to waste: they became the method. Every role starts with the same question a session would: what is this person not saying?

Fluent in English and Spanish, Lymaries moves comfortably between bilingual scripts and cultures, and between registers — academic and casual, period and procedural, girl-next-door and quietly dangerous. That range is the throughline, not a gimmick: a performer trained to notice the gap between what people present and what they carry.
