Get to Know The Neighborhood's Amber Stevens West with These 10 Fun Facts! (Exclusive)
Amber Stevens West has been delivering so many fun and amazing performances over the years, from starring in ABC Family’s Greek to other fan-fave titles like CBS’ Happy Together and The Amazing Spider‑Man!
Now, she has a recurring role on the final season of The Neighborhood on CBS, where she stars as Mercedes, a reality star who becomes Malcolm’s new love interest.
She will be appearing in this Monday’s episode of the hit show. The episode is titled “Welcome to the Two-Ring Circus” and has the following logline: “A change of plans sends Mercedes and Tina on a memorable night out that prompts several couples to take a closer look at what they truly want from their relationships. Meanwhile, Dave’s visit to Gemma’s school sparks an honest conversation about her feelings toward her job.” You can see some stills in the gallery here.

Check them out below…
- I am a mother to 3 daughters.
- I share a birthday with my first born, October 7th, and she also happens to be the one that looks most like me.
- It’s a goal of [husband Andrew J. West] and mine to visit every Major League Baseball stadium in the country.
- I have a fear of the deep sea and deep space. Just the idea of a fish touching my body creeps me out. I like it here on land!
- I’ve been sky diving and I’d do it again.
Head inside to check out the rest of the fun facts…
- I was student body president of Beverly Hills High School in 2004.
- I worked until I was 8 months pregnant when shooting Happy Together for CBS. We hid my belly behind everything we could. It was so much fun, I felt like the luckiest actress in the business!
- I walked into my audition for The Neighborhood in character: rhinestone rimmed sunglasses indoors, my highest heels, all my clip-in hair, a tight green dress and a matching green Labubu (borrowed from my daughter) hanging from my purse. Definitely the biggest swing I’ve ever made.
- I was so excited to do the last season of The Neighborhood because it shoots in LA and my dream job is multi-cam television. No place I’d rather be!
- I’m now moving forward producing my second feature film to be directed by Kelly Park whom I met working on The Neighborhood.
- (Bonus fact!) I love baking and like to think I make the best chocolate chip cookie in the world (many agree!)
Be sure to tune in to catch Amber on The Neighborhood on Monday, March 23 at 8pm ET. It will also stream on Paramount+.
