10 Latino actors you should know about
The list is way longer and is growing each day.
Tina Fey (aka LaTina Fey in latest Billy Eichner’s video) may not remember Gina Rodriguez’s name or she may not be able to name 20 Latino performances in 60 seconds, but…
Eva Longoria, Danny Trejo, Jennifer Lopez or Marc Anthony were some of the names which crossed Fey’s mind when she was asked about remarkable Latino stars. However, the list is much longer and is growing each day.
For that reason Variety Latino has released the “10 Latinos to Watch” list, with 10 young Latino actors that shouldn’t be missed:

The actress was born in the U.S., where her parents arrived from Colombia. She has a role in two of most popular shows in the country: Netflix's hit “Orange is the New Black” and CW's “Jane the Virgin.” She is also an advocate for immigration reform because, as she shared a few weeks ago on a CNN Morning interview, her parents and her brother were deported when she was 14 years old.
