André Alonzo Forster Paras (born November 1, 1995) is a Filipino actor, model, dancer, singer, and former professional basketball player. He is the son of former PBA player Benjie Paras and brother of Kobe Paras. He is the best known for his role as Chad Jimenez in the film adaptation of Diary ng Panget. Paras is most seen in GMA Network and most known for playing the role of Bradley Castillo in the hit melodrama The Half Sisters. After the success of The Half Sisters, Paras and Barbie Forteza paired again in That's My Amboy which aired on 2016.

Paras was born on November 1, 1995, in Los Angeles to PBA legend Benjie Paras and former actress Jackie Forster. He also has a younger brother, Kobe, a basketball player who plays for the Altiri Chiba in the Japanese B.League.

Paras played for La Salle Greenhills in high school. In college, he played for the University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons like his father. In 2014, Paras transferred from University of the Philippines to San Beda College with the intention of playing for the San Beda Red Lions. After a year of studying in UP and playing as a rookie for the UP Fighting Maroons, he opted to transfer for not being able to balance his studies and acting career due to his hectic work schedule in his drama series The Half Sisters. He also said that although it was his dream to study in UP, he didn't want to have a bad reputation in the university.

Paras then pursued an acting career.

Paras played for the Imus Bandera for the 2018–2019 season of MPBL.

Paras selected 27th overall pick at the PBA season 46 draft. Before the start of the 47th PBA season, he took a leave of absence from Blackwater to pursue acting.
