Eileen Galindo
Eileen Galindo, a veteran film, stage, and television actor, has starred in countless projects throughout her decades-spanning career. Most recently, she stars opposite Oscar Isaac in the Academy Award-nominated short film The Letter Room, a dark prison comedy about the secret life of a correctional officer who gets transferred to a job in the letter room. She has also starred in other award-winning short films including Mosquito: The Bite of Passage, written and directed by Brian Vincent Rhodes and Student Academy Award Winner Teng Cheng, Caprichosas, and Woman Child.
On the silver screen, Eileen recently starred in Hulu's original comedy film The Binge opposite Skyler Gisondo, Dexter Darden, and Eduardo Franco. Other recent comedies include Granddaddy Daycare with Danny Trejo, Hello My Name Is Frank with Garrett Brown and Hayley Kiyoko, and Body High with Bug Hall and Flava Flav.
On stage, Eileen has starred both Off Broadway and in regional theatre productions across the country. Most notably, in 2002, she appeared opposite the legendary Chita Rivera in "The House of Bernarda Alba" at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, and in 2010, Eileen was nominated for the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Featured Performance in "The Clean House" at International City Theatre in Long Beach, CA where she won the Garland Award the same year.
On television, Eileen recurs as Isabel Vega in the highly anticipated second season of hit CBS All Access (now Paramount+) series Why Women Kill, premiering this summer. Additionally, she has guest starred on a slew of hit shows including Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, NCIS, Stumptown, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., The Affair, among many others. Throughout her extensive career in voiceover work, she has lent her voice to iconic characters on long-running animated series including Dora The Explorer and Phineas and Ferb.
Eileen has long been an outspoken activist on behalf of artists everywhere. In the theatrical sphere, at only twenty-one years of age, Eileen became instrumental in the non-traditional casting movement that gained momentum in the 1990s, putting herself on the picket lines to encourage Broadway producers to endorse diversity in casting. As a result, Broadway now better reflects the diversity of the world we live in. She has also served as a board member of the Screen Actors Guild.
Eileen hails from New York City and resides in Los Angeles.
