Alanna Ubach

Alanna Ubach is a master at finding humor in the drama of being alive.  She’s a freakishly versatile actor who looks for something to love in every character she plays, from a real Fox News personality in BOMBSHELL to a raunchy sidekick in Bravo’s “Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce”.  Her fictional roles are full of truth, from her cartoonish Latina housekeeper in MEET THE FOCKERS to the soulful animated grandmother she plays in Disney-Pixar’s Oscar-winner COCO.  We talk to the Los Angeles native about the course of her career (so far) starting with learning to act as a kid by mimicking her father’s Mexican accent, through “standing up for a piece of humanity” as she sums up her job now.
