Available to hire
Hi, I’m Mercedes Somarriba—a Canadian actor and background performer based in Toronto. I enjoy bringing authentic energy to on-screen scenes, whether I’m on set as an extra in popular TV series or contributing behind the scenes with wardrobe support and set-up help. I’m passionate about storytelling, collaborative on-set work, and helping productions run smoothly.
My on-screen credits include appearances in Designated Survivor, Downsizing, Saving Hope, SUITS, Degrassi, and Total Recall, among others. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, comfortable with Latin dance, and proficient with MS Office. I also hold an Associate Degree in Accounting and Payroll, which complements my production experience with a practical, detail-oriented mindset.
