Michelle Crowe-Paz (born Michelle Antoinette Crowe in New York, NY in 1972) is a Filipina-American actress and independent film producer, but most importantly, a wife and mother of four children.

Michelle was raised in Monsey, NY, located in Rockland County, and is a graduate of Spring Valley High School. Post high-school, Michelle attended and graduated from SUNY Rockland in Suffern, NY, and Nyack College in Nyack, NY.

Previous career aspirations included hotel/restaurant management, and fashion buying and merchandising. An elective course taken in college propelled Michelle to her life-long love of acting in film and television. Along the way, Michelle married Jerry Paz, and together they have four children, ages 15, 13, 8, and 5.

While raising her children, Michelle landed walk-on and background roles in major motion pictures and television shows. Michelle has also been featured in various magazine publications.

Michelle also believes in giving back and associating herself with various charitable organizations. A cause near and dear to her heart is Walk Now for Autism Speaks, as one of Michelle's children is on the spectrum. Other worthwhile organizations include Cub Scout Pack 258, part of the Northern New Jersey Council, serving as the Treasurer for the Lenape Meadows Home School Organization, the Township of Mahwah Youth Sports Bureau, and the Mahwah High School Drama Club.

When not involved in any of her children's activities or working on a film project, Michelle enjoys kickboxing, walking/jogging, shopping, and spending time with her husband.
