Gina Alexis Rodriguez[1] (born July 30, 1984)[1][2] is an American actress. She is known for her leading role as Jane Villanueva in The CW satirical romantic dramedy series Jane the Virgin (2014–2019), for which she received a Golden Globe Award in 2015.[3]
At the age of seven, Rodriguez performed at the salsa dance company Fantasia Juvenil.[11] Rodriguez was raised Catholic, and went to high school at St. Ignatius College Prep where she was two years behind the comedian John Mulaney. She has stated that she did not attend "Jake McNamara's party" which is the subject of one of Mulaney's bits. She focused on salsa dancing until age 17 when she began acting more.[12]
She portrayed Frida Kahlo in the world premiere of Casa Blue in the UK, in the play called The Last Moments in the Life of Frida Kahlo at the American Stage Theatre.[11]
Career
Rodriguez made her screen debut appearing in an episode of Law & Order in 2004. She later has appeared on Eleventh Hour, Army Wives and The Mentalist. On October 19, 2011, Rodriguez landed the recurring role, Beverly, in the soap opera series The Bold and the Beautiful.[14] She received a role in the musical film Go for It!, for which she received a 2011 Imagen Awards nomination.[11]
In 2012, Rodriguez played young hip-hop artist Majo Tenorio in the independent musical-drama film Filly Brown, for which she won an Imaged Award.[2] She received good reviews for her performance in film.[15] She also was the recipient of the Best Actor Award at the First Run Film Festival in New York.[11][16] On June 9, 2013, Gina won the Inaugural Lupe Award.[17] On April 16, 2013, during an interview, she revealed she was offered a role in the Lifetime television series Devious Maids, but turned it down.[18][19] On October 16, 2013, she joined the cast of the film Sleeping With The Fishes.[20]
Rodriguez owns the production company I Can & I Will Productions.[30] She worked on projects at CBS and The CW centered around the Latino community.[31] She served as a producer and starred in the 2019 Netflix romantic comedy film Someone Great, where her character sang and danced to Lizzo's Truth Hurts, ultimately popularizing the song further and hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100.[32][33]
In 2019, Rodriguez starred as the title character in the action thriller film Miss Bala.[34] In the same year, it was announced that Rodriguez was cast in the upcoming Netflix science fiction thriller Awake.[35] She also voiced the role of Velma Dinkley in the animated adventure film Scoob!.[36]
On May 3, 2024 Rodriguez was announced as one of the co-hosts (along with Shaquille O'Neal) of the upcoming ABC game show Lucky 13. [39]
Personal life
In an interview, Rodriguez revealed that she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, a thyroid condition, at the age of 19.[40][41]
In a 2014 interview, she said, "I grew up Catholic. I have Jewish in my family and I attend a Christian church in Hollywood. I am basically all over the place."[42]
In 2016, Rodriguez began dating actor and mixed martial arts fighter Joe LoCicero, whom she met on the set of Jane the Virgin.[43] They got engaged in August 2018[44][45] and were married on May 4, 2019.[46] She gave birth to their son in March 2023.[47]
Philanthropy
Rodriguez has been involved with various charities and philanthropic efforts, made possible by her rising visibility as a film and television actress.[48] In 2015, she became involved in CustomInk and Naja Lingerie, both of which Rodriguez has stated have a special connection to her life and experiences.[49][50]
On March 16, 2015, she was announced as a member of the board of directors of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), the largest non-profit organization in the U.S. that supports Hispanic American higher education. Because attaining an education was the biggest priority in Rodriguez's household, coupled with her determination to work towards a degree, she was able to work towards receiving a HSF scholarship.[51]
Later in 2015, PACER's (The Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational Rights) National Bullying Prevention Center teamed up with CustomInk and enlisted the help of various celebrities, Rodriguez among them, to raise money for their fifth annual "Be Good to Each Other Campaign".[49] Throughout the month of October 2015, people were encouraged to purchase a celebri-tee from CustomInk, who donated all the proceeds from bullying prevention T-shirts to PACER.[52] Rodriguez, in designing a celebri-tee which featured the phrase "Kindness Is Always In Style" in cursive print, took a stand for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion in support of bullying prevention, and stated that her parents always taught [her] the power of thinking positively and treating others with respect. She also hopes that through the Be Good to Each Other Campaign, such a message could be continued to be spread to younger generations.[49][53]
Also in October 2015, Rodriguez was announced as a partner of Naja, a lingerie line founded in 2014 with ambitions to help women and the environment. Because Naja is vertically integrated, thereby shortening manufacturing lead times by up to eighty percent, it allows the company's savings to go towards school books, lunches, and uniforms for employees' children, and there's also an emphasis on a flexible work environment.[50] Having seen the hardships of single mothers through a close friend from college, Rodriguez wanted to support a company that primarily employed single mothers and allowed remote work.[54] She also cites Naja's commitment to creating lingerie for women of all shapes and sizes and encouraging body confidence as a factor for becoming involved with the lingerie line; admitting that it was a process for her to fall in love with her own body, Rodriguez also spoke on the importance of empowering women to love their own bodies and what they wear.[55] Naja is also environmentally-conscious in its production, as more than half of all of its pieces are made of synthetics (like nylon)—that have been fabricated from recycled plastic bottles—and makes use of digital printing as a more environmentally friendly measure.[50]
In 2016, Rodriguez was named to Oprah's SuperSoul 100 list of visionaries and influential leaders.[56] In 2017, Rodriguez, among several other artists, sang on the single "Almost Like Praying". Sparked by Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of Broadway's Hamilton, all proceeds from the song benefited those affected by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.[57]
