Gina Rodriguez

Gina Rodriguez solidified her status in Hollywood by earning a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy in 2015 for her career-defining lead role as Jane Villanueva in The CW’s satirical romantic dramedy series Jane the Virgin (2014–2019). Prior to this, Rodriguez had already established a strong foundation in her craft, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in 2005. She originated the role of Frida Kahlo in the world premiere of ‘Casa Blue: The Last Moments in the Life of Frida Kahlo’ at the American Stage Theatre and won ‘Best Actor’ at the First Run Film Festival in NY for Osvaldos, which aired on HBO in 2010. Her 2011 Imagen Awards nomination for Go for It was followed by a breakout performance as Majo Tenorio in the independent musical-drama film Filly Brown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012, for which she also received an Imagen Award the same year and the Inaugural Lupe Award in 2013.

In 2024, Rodriguez continued to balance her acting and producing endeavors, starring in and executive producing Players, and co-hosting and executive producing the ABC game show Lucky 13. Looking ahead, she is set to join the cast of Will Trent as Marion Alba in 2025 and will lend her voice to Rachel ‘Baby’ Feldstein in Long Story Short, also slated for 2025.
