Thanks for stopping by and getting acquainted!
I'm Mary Riitano, an award wining actress, based in Montana, and willing to travel! (+ COVID vaccinated/boosted ) I've honed my acting craft in the wilds of the mountains trekking to LA, Portland, and Atlanta for film acting training, coaching, and acquiring industry standard tools. I've been building an acting body of work with many film communities with tenacity, intuition, and resourcefulness. In my best dreams, I'd love to film and work with David Fincher, Stephen Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Todd Phillips, Jane Campion and Christopher Nolan!
"Live with gusto from your soul's deep truth."
Through my acting I love inspiring people to
open their heart to their own magic to express themselves freely

Mary showed up for one day of shooting on the set of my senior thesis film. While we had discussed the character beforehand, we had not rehearsed until mere hours before her scene. Nevertheless, Mary exhibited the utmost professionalism and delivered a stunning performance. Even in her one and a half minutes of screen time she absolutely stole the scene.
I was blessed to have her talent on set and
would jump at the chance to work with her again.
-Brock Forrette (Beast, Swing) Grasshopper Films
I know that having you on set really helped to tune their performances in and it was amazing to see the difference you were able to make. I learned a lot being that this was my first time directing something this big, and thanks to you I had a great source to pull from so I can get better performances in my future projects. Thank you so much for being a part of this film, Mary! You're awesome!
-Colton Tash (The Appointment) Done with It Productions
Characters I've been cast as: professor, mom, love interest, salesgirl, wife (abused and the good wife),
mistress, psychiatrist, mentor, hot mess and the girl next door.
I embrace my quirkiness. Erin Brockovich style determination & truth seeking make me perfect in roles like business professional, mom/wife, trailblazer, and that teacher you can’t take your eyes off of.
My work's been referred to as captivating and noted for its vibrant energy, strength, and versatility comparable to
that of Jessica Lange. My presence has been likened to the luminosity, infectious spirit of Julia Roberts.
