Actress Andrea AKA Andi Saks

currently co-stars as Ana Kruschtov,

A formidable Russian intelligence agent, opposite Lee Majors and the late Tom Sizemore

in writer/director Shawn Welling’s zombie/alien action thriller Mission from Outer Space

2037. She also co-stars as an evil drug lord opposite Majors, Jake Busey and Terry

Kiser in Welling’s upcoming comedy The Great American Action Hero. Putting on her

producer cap, Andi raised production capital for writer/director Victor V Gelsomino’s

action/thriller Death Merchant: City of Insurrection.

Born in Pearland, Texas, a suburb of Houston, Andi’s first brush with the acting bug

came in her own backyard where she organized various productions of Peter Pan with

neighborhood kids. She began appearing on stage at the age of nine, and credits her

performance as the Julia Roberts character in a ninth-grade stage production of Steel

Magnolias as a galvanizing moment.

After graduating from Clear-Creek High School, she received her Bachelor’s degree

in marketing and micro-biology from the University of Houston. Heading for a nursing

career, her trajectory was stymied by Covid, which led her to support herself by selling

medical devices. Her diverse heritage, encompassing Russian, Polish, and Spanish

roots, has played a significant role in shaping her artistic journey, which began with

rigorous training at the renowned Los Angeles Acting School, crediting acting coach

BoJesse Christopher who co-starred in Point Break and his known portrayal of

Grommet/LBJ, the reckless younger brother of Patrick Swayze, as one of her mentors.

When she isn’t acting, this mother of two children, 5 and 2, loves to travel and

spends time in Europe at least three times a year.
