Maria Elisa Camargo

María Elisa Camargo, born in Guayaquil, Ecuador on December 21, 1985, began her career in entertainment as a contestant on The X Factor Colombia. Building on her early theatrical training, she quickly became known for her roles in musical telenovelas, securing her first leading role in Latin America in the series “Mark of Desire” for Telefutura/Univision. Her move to Mexico marked a significant turning point in her career, where she established herself in Televisa’s prime-time programming, often portraying villainous characters. This period led to her recognition as one of People en Español’s “50 Most Beautiful” and an appearance on Univision’s “Mira Quien Baila.”

Subsequently, Telemundo signed Camargo as a lead star, where her series “Under the Same Sky” achieved record-breaking ratings, surpassing competitor Univision. Her career expanded into film with a role in Netflix’s “Los Leones” alongside Ozuna and her U.S. television debut on “Warrior.” She continued to demonstrate her versatility in international productions, starring in the Dominican thriller “Infatuation,” the Mexican feature “Dulce Obsesión” (VIX+), and the Colombian series “Mala Yerba” (Lionsgate+). She also took a leading role in “Out Loud,” Prime Video’s first Hispanic musical series.

More recently, Camargo starred in “Until You Burn,” which reached significant global rankings on Netflix. She also made history as the voice for the character Valeria Garza in “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II” (2022). This role was cemented as an official character after two seasons, making her the first Latina to achieve this status within the franchise. She is also slated to appear in “Off the Grid” with Greg Kinnear and Josh Duhamel, scheduled for theatrical and digital release.
