Maia Vik Villa
Maia Vik Villa is a two-spirit actor, writer, drag prince (Vik Floyd), & lifelong metalhead, most at home in East Los between taco trucks y boba tea…”Duuude, let’s take my hatchback down Cesar Chavez to the Sunset Strip all the way to the beach tonight…i’ma play Maiden’s ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’ and you tell me about the first time you lost faith, maan…”
Don’t be fooled by the heart-shaped face, they will never be America’s sweetheart; they are a shape-shifter kreature of the underworld...expressive with gargoyle eyes, a cackle laugh, and a silent cat-face. Home to them is Los Angeles (where their family has lived since the late 1800's), yet they feel most at rest in a hot tub surrounded by cold snow...& will one day retire in the mountains (or beloved Chicago) with three huskies.
Comedy is their number one true love. They are stoked to join SEASON TWO of the fantastically strange and fun sketch team, Darling! 3rd Sunday of every month, 9pm, at the Pack Theater.
They’re a big ol’ nerd for sketch, sitcom, farce, satire, supernatural/sci-fi, historical fiction…& their heart is set on becoming a voiceover actor for animation and video games! So far, they have one animation short under their belt and, on Netflix, various English dubbing roles in documentary and reality TV. Feel free to contact for any audition opportunities!
VO Highlight: dubbing for finalist rapper Jelecrois in Rhythm & Flow: Italia S1 (Netflix, 2024).
Stage Credits: Monologues & Mayhem (The Glendale Room), Duo It Again (Lyric Hyperion), The Joy Who Lived Festival (LA), Hollywood Fringe Festival, Second City Hollywood, UCB Franklin, Native Voices (Autry Museum), CASA 0101 (Boyle Heights), Frida Kahlo (LA), The Playground (Chicago), Lucille Lortel (NYC)...and poetry/drag stages everywhere.
Awards: Best Ensemble (Hollywood Fringe Festival 2019) – directing full-length dramedy “Borracho: Spanish for Drunken Bum” written by Abe Zapata Jr. & produced by Q Youth Foundation (Ana Bernal and Brandon English).
Favorite Acting Training Communities: Dare To Fail Improv (Rich Baker) and ActNOW (Jase Alan, Rain Valdez)
