Valery Ortiz
American Latino has been roaming around the syndicated airwaves for quite a while now. Currently it can be seen in almost a hundred markets around the country at least once each weekend. It’s a slickly produced half-hour hosted by the dynamic Valery Ortiz (Diary of a Single Mom, South of Nowhere) that includes interviews with actors, musicians, athletes and more.
The last few weeks of American Latino having been hitting the high points, offering exclusive interviews with major players like Cote de Pablo of NCIS, the legendary Diego Luna, our buddy Adam Irigoyen, and Fatima Ptacek, the voice of Dora the Explorer. Next weekend, Madeleine Stowe of ABC’s Revenge will be stopping by. (We’ll start listing upcoming episodes of American Latino in our “What to Watch” column every week, starting now.)
American Latino also has a nicely made profile compilation called American Latino Presents Dreams, and does shorter online segments on the Arts, Music, and Style–all of it professional, stylish, and well worth watching.
You can catch some past episodes here, on American Latino website, and you can check here to see what time the show plays in your particular part of the world. You can follow the show on Facebook, too, right here. Meanwhile, here’s an example of their segment called State of the Arts: a 3:30 profile of Latina film director Patricia Riggen (Under the Same Moon, Girl in Progress).
