Se Fija! loves to keep an eye out for the up-and-comers, and the lovely young Latina actress Gina Rodriguez is definitely one of the kids to keep an eye on.
You’ll probably remember her best for her strong supporting role in Carmen Marron’s Go For It! that’s just come out on DVD. (She got an Imagen Award nomination for that) She also appeared on three episodes of Army Wives last year, and guest-starred in an episode of ABC’s Happy Endings. And now our colleagues over at CBS’ Soap Opera In Depth tell us that Gina’s slated to join the cast of the daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful. She’ll appear in the recurring role of Beverly, a friend of Dayzee’s from the homeless shelter (Dayzee’s time on the streets is a big mystery, y’see, and Beverly’s a key to all that!)
Gina began her taping last week; SOID says she’ll begin to appear on Wednesday, November 30. In the meantime, you can catch Gina in one of her more…creative roles on My Super Psycho Sweet 16: Part 2, a TV movie from last year, showing up at 3P on Thursday, Oct. 27 on MTV.
And one of these days, we need to talk to her about Filly Brown, the movie she starred in with major players like Edward James Olmos and Emilio Rivera and many other Latinos and near-Latinos (like Lou Diamond Phillips). When are we going to see that, anyway, Gina?
