Izzie Silvares is a Boston-based actress, and independent creator, originally from Vitoria, Brazil.

Raised across Spain, South Africa, Mexico, and the US, Izzie had, in a sense, already lived many lives before ever stepping on a set. Each new country meant a new culture, a new language, and a new way of understanding people. These experiences prevailed as she developed her craft in high school, before pausing acting to attend college. Now in her final year double-majoring in International Relations and History with a Legal Studies minor, she realized acting never truly left her. Through starting mock trial as a freshman, she'd eased back into performing, playing witnesses for her university's team, from unhinged comedic characters to one who broke down in tears on the stand. Earning five Outstanding Witness Awards in only two years, she proved that she not only plays her characters, but she embodies them, carrying her contagious energy and raw performances across storylines.

That reintroduction paid off. After a six-year hiatus, Izzie booked two roles off her very first two auditions: the lead in Reverence (2026), an episode of Shadows, a BU College of Communication TV program that won a New England Emmy last year, and a supporting role, Ava, in the short film Kiss and Tell (2026). In Reverence, her devotion to her ballet instructor slowly reveals the cracks of a controlling relationship. As Ava, she's blunt and commanding on the surface but guarded underneath. Together, the roles capture her range, from quiet unraveling to sharp-edged control. She's now channeling this same passion into her directorial debut, The Chauvinist, a short film she's writing and starring in, about the rise of incel ideology. 

Currently, Izzie is the lead on the romance drama short film Things Left Unsaid. When she's not on set, Izzie is onto her second book of the week, taking law classes online, or attending dance classes.
