Today we’d like to introduce you to Eve Mauro.
Hi Eve, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I started acting in Los Angeles about 20 years ago after moving here from Florida. One of my very first gigs was working with Madonna on the Hollywood music video, which was an unforgettable experience. When I first arrived, I lived in South Central and really hustled to get my foot in the door—modeling and performing in local plays wherever I could. Eventually, an agent saw me in one of those productions and signed me, and that’s when things really began to take off. Since then, I’ve been lucky to work consistently as an actress and continue growing in the industry I love.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road—this industry rarely is. I think it’s important to understand that going in. I’ve had incredible highs where I was working nonstop, and then there were those frustrating lows where nothing seemed to click. Sometimes I couldn’t find representation, or if I had an agent, I couldn’t land auditions. And even when I did get in the room, I just wasn’t the “look” they were after. There are so many moving parts that are out of your control. But through it all, I’ve always tried to keep my head above water and keep pushing forward. I really believe that the harder you work, the more things eventually start falling into place.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m an actress, and I’ve been fortunate to work in over 80 film and TV projects throughout my career. Most recently, I wrapped a movie with Jason Statham called A Working Man, directed by David Ayer and written by Sylvester Stallone. It hit number one at the box office, which was a huge milestone for me. I also just finished filming Pendulum opposite Dominic Purcell, which I’m really excited about.
Lately, I’ve started expanding into producing, which has opened up a whole new creative side of the business for me. I’m currently producing a documentary called Boo-Yaa Tribe: Blood, Sweat & Tears, which tells the powerful story of a Samoan gangster rap group. It’s a project I’m really proud of, and I have a few more in development that I can’t wait to share soon.
As for what sets me apart—I come from a tough background, and I’ve had to fight hard to get where I am. That grit and resilience have become a part of everything I do. I think it helps me bring a rawness and authenticity to my work, whether I’m in front of the camera or behind it.
So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
What matters to me most is connection. I got into this art form because, growing up, it was through storytelling—whether it was poetry, film, or music—that I felt less alone. During the hardest times, art helped me feel seen and understood, like someone out there got what I was feeling. That sense of connection was powerful, and it’s the same feeling I hope to give to others through my work. For me, it’s not about fame or attention—it’s about creating something that resonates, that helps someone out there feel understood, even for a moment. That’s what drives me.
