On this episode of Latinos Out Loud, Rachel La Loca chats with performing arts pros and mother-daughter duo, Rosalba Rolón and Rosal Colón. Rosalba is the Artistic Director of the Pregones and Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre, while her daughter Rosal is an actress, and has now made her stage directorial debut with The Wedding March. You may know Rosal from the many TV roles she's played like “Juliana Ayala” on Power Book III: Raising Kanan (Starz) and “Ouija” on Orange is the New Black (Netflix). Her film credits include The Lost Girls (Netflix), The Dead Don't Die (Focus Features) and Can You Ever Forgive Me? (Fox Searchlight) Part of the company's original musical theater repertory, The Wedding March is based on Judith Ortiz Cofer's acclaimed book Silent Dancing: A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican Childhood. It was first adapted for the stage and directed by Rosalba in 1991, and this revival is a beautiful passing of the baton to her daughter, Rosal. The production is "a lyrical performance on womanhood, memory, and cultural identity as a Puerto Rican woman reclaims the haunting, humorous, and formative tales passed down by generations of women before her. It's a moving journey across Puerto Rico and New York, heritage, and transformation.” The show stars Jenyvette Vega, Gabriel Leyva and Fernando Contreras, and runs at the PRTT through May 3.

On this episode of Latinos Out Loud, @RachelLaLoca chats with Jaina Lee Ortiz and Bevin Bru; the two Latina leads of the new ABC show RJ Decker. Jaina plays Emilia “Emi” Ochoa and Bevin plays Detective Melody “Mel” Abreu, and they discuss their unique characters, and what they'd like us the viewers to take away from their performances, and interesting insight on the state of representation in Hollywood. ABOUT JAINA Jaina recently wrapped the Sony action feature “Archangel,” opposite Jim Caviezel, Garret Dillahunt and Shea Wigham. Her breakout role was Detective Annalise Villa in the hit Fox series ”Rosewood.” She was later hand-picked by Shonda Rhimes to lead the ABC drama series, “Station 19” for an impressive seven-season run. Additional television credits include the USA series “Shooter” and Amazon's “The After.” Ortiz can most recently be seen in the independent feature, “The Long Game,” alongside Dennis Quaid and Jay Hernandez. It premiered at the SXSW Film Festival, where it received the Narrative Spotlight Audience Award. Cast and filmmakers were then invited by President Biden to screen the film at the White House in advance of its release. A proud Puerto Rican American from the Boogie Down Bronx, Ortiz devotes much of her time supporting the Latin community. She was asked personally by Chief Justice Sonia Sotomayor to voice her audiobook, “The Beloved World of Sonia Sotomayor.” ABOUT BEVIN Cuban American actress, writer and producer Bevin Bru continues to solidify her place as one of Hollywood's rising talents. Best known for her breakout role as Angelique Martin in Season 2 of The CW's hit series “Batwoman,” Bru is currently starring this season on ABC's highly anticipated drama “R.J. Decker” as Detective Melody “Mel” Abreu. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Bru discovered her passion for acting at a young age. She later moved to New York City to study at AMDA before relocating to Los Angeles to pursue her career. ABOUT THE SHOW Written by Rob Doherty (“Elementary”) and starring Scott Speedman, RJ Decker is a former newspaper photographer and ex-con who starts over as a private investigator in the colorful-if-crime-filled world of South Florida. The series follows him tackling cases ranging from slightly odd to outright bizarre with the help of his journalist ex, her police detective wife and a shadowy woman from his past who could be his greatest ally … or his one-way ticket back to prison.Inspired by Carl Hiaasen's novel “Double Whammy,” “RJ Decker” is produced by 20th Television. Rob Doherty serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer. Carl Hiaasen, Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman are executive producers, Paul McGuigan directs and executive produces, and Scott Speedman is a producer. Release Date: March 3, 2026Network/Platform: ABC (Linear) and Hulu (Streaming)Showtime: 10:00 PM EST Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Latinos Out Loud podcast was invited to attend LANDMAN Season 2 Press Day and it was a whole Hollywood in NYC kind-of-vibe. The holiday lights were shining bright as were the stars of the hit show whom were convened at the iconic New York Plaza Hotel on 5th Avenue. After noshing on what she says were the best macaroon cookies she's ever had, Rachel's name was called in to sit and chat with the legendary Cuban-American actor, director, producer, and musician, ANDY GARCIA. We know Andy's work from famed films like The Godfather III, Stand and Deliver, The Untouchables, Father of the Bride, Mama Mia, Ocean's 11, and SO MUCH MORE! At 69 years young, Mr. Andy Garcia is still wowing audiences on season 2 of Landman on Paramount+. Rachel and Andy chat about his character on the show, Gallino and his impact in season 2. They also chat at heart, about representation in Hollywood, and looking past the last name and hiring more of the many talented Latino actors out there. Andy also pays homage and mentions some of the actors from which he himself draws inspiration. ABOUT LANDMAN Season Two: Landman Season Two premiered Sunday, November 16, on Paramount+. Co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, Landman stars Oscar® winner Billy Bob Thornton, Oscar nominee Demi Moore, Oscar nominee Andy Garcia, Oscar nominee Sam Elliott, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan and Colm Feore. Set in the boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern tale of fortune seeking amongst roughnecks and wildcat billionaires – fueling an oil boom so big it's reshaping the climate, the economy and geopolitics. In season two, as oil rises from the earth, so do secrets – and Tommy Norris's (Thornton) breaking point may be closer than he realizes. Facing mounting pressure from M-Tex Oil, Cami Miller (Moore), and the shadow of his kin, survival in West Texas isn't noble – it's brutal. And sooner or later something's got to break. Landman is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Christian Wallace, Billy Bob Thornton, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay. Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch for Imperative Entertainment, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt for Texas Monthly also executive produce. Tommy Turtle serves as co-executive producer.
