You can win the lottery but you need to buy the ticket first. And in life, you can get lucky but you need to work hard and be ready first.
Actually, between Colombian and Mexican Spanish, there's not a huge difference, but it is a different accent.
I love theater, going to the movies, and cooking new vegan dishes at home. I also love dancing salsa and traveling, and doing outdoor sports such as biking, hiking, and swimming.
I started with theater when I was 9 years old and then got into television when I was 16, but I would say my first big break was 'Lady, La Vendedora de Rosas', a telenovela that was very successful all across Latin America.
I didn't really think of Hollywood or doing an action movie just because it was not something that I had in mind or that I thought was possible.
And just seeing yourself on buses and billboards in even the smallest town of any country in the world, it's overwhelming sometimes and it's amazing and it's unbelievable.
I mean I do believe there is a responsibility of the entertainment industry in general with everything that is happening with the world, with violence and with climate change and with the stereotypes with Latinos or any community.
I was not expecting Linda Hamilton to be there auditioning with me. I never would've imagined that. I didn't recognize her. We went into a room with four people, and the scene was really emotional. She held my hand and hugged me. She was so loving.
I feel really lucky because I discovered acting when I was really young, I was like nine and I think I had a really happy childhood and youth. I was doing what I wanted.
I finished high school and college - I actually moved to New York to study film - and was always working in theaters and studying. You never stop learning.
I think there's so much talent in Latin America - you know, directors from Mexico and Chile and Colombia - we have so much talent and there are not enough platforms to show our talents, so I'd love to use this and start creating my own endeavors and get all these really talented people together.
