Bio

Alexa Davalos is a French actress best known for her roles in the 2005 television series Reunion, and in the 2004 feature film The Chronicles of Riddick.

Davalos was seen in Larry Gelbart's And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself (2003), directed by Bruce Beresford for HBO Films, opposite Antonio Banderas.

Prior to that, Davalos starred in The Ghost of F. Scott Fitzgerald, an official selection to the 2002 Toronto Film Festival, and in Disturbing the Peace, the directorial debut of noted writer Mark Bomback, for the 2002 Sundance Institute's Director's Lab.

In 2006 she appeared in the made-for-TV movie Surrender Corothy, and in 2007 starred in the pilot episode of the television series Raines.

Born in Paris, France, Davalos relocated to Los Angeles from New York. She made her first screen appearance in John Frankenheimer's Riviera when she was three years old.

Her love of performing took root when her family relocated to New York City and Davalos became involved with ballet.

Following her mother (Elyssa Davalos, a television and theatre actress) and grandfather (Richard Davalos, made popular by his performance as James Dean's brother in East of Eden) from set to set allowed Davalos a unique insight into the world of acting.

Throughout Davalos' childhood, her mother continued training with acting coach Stella Adler. Davalos sat in on some of the classes and remembers the experience as having a profound impact on her desire to act.

In her early teen years, she spent most of her time on location or in the theater with her mother, doing anything to be involved. It was also around this time that she made her first commercial with Patty Hansen.

She has worked as a model with photographers such as Peter Lindbergh and her father, Jeff Dunas, and has been studying acting in New York at The New School and working at the Flea Theater.
