Early life
Beatriz was born in Neuquén , Argentina on February 10, 1981, to a Colombian father and a Bolivian mother.[ 2] [ 3] She arrived in the United States at the age of two[ 4] [ 5] with her parents and a younger sister. Beatriz grew up in Webster, Texas , outside of Houston , and attended Clear Brook High School .[ 6] [ 7] As a child, her mother took Beatriz and her sister to arts exhibits and events, something she credits for raising her awareness of potential careers in the arts.[ 8] She became interested in acting after taking speech and debate as an elective, which allowed her to appear in plays.[ 9] She became a United States citizen at 18.[ 4] [ 5]
Beatriz attended the all-women's Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri. After graduating in 2002, she moved to New York City to pursue acting.[ 7] She has lived in Los Angeles since 2010.
Career
Beatriz performed for three seasons at Oregon Shakespeare Festival ,[ 10] including roles such as Catherine in A View From a Bridge in 2008,[ 11] Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in 2010,[ 12] and Isabella in Measure for Measure in 2011.[ 13]
Beatriz had minor roles in the police procedural television series The Closer and Southland , and a recurring role as Gloria's sister Sonia in the ABC comedy series Modern Family .
In 2013, she began portraying Detective Rosa Diaz in the Fox and NBC series Brooklyn Nine-Nine , an action comedy series based around the members of a Brooklyn police precinct. In 2019, she directed the season 6 episode "He Said, She Said ". The show ran for eight seasons.
Beatriz starred as Bonnie in the independent feature film The Light of the Moon , written and directed by Jessica M. Thompson . The film premiered at the 2017 South by Southwest Film Festival , where it won the Audience Award for Narrative Feature Competition.[ 14] She received highly positive reviews for her performance, with The Hollywood Reporter stating that "Beatriz offers a powerful ... unflinching, authentic performance," while Variety noted that the film was "harrowingly effective" and Beatriz's performance was "expertly balanced and judged."[ 15] From 2018 to 2019, she voiced the character Gina Cazador on BoJack Horseman . She was also the voice of General Sweet Mayhem in The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part .[ 16]
It was announced in 2019 she would be appearing in the 2021 film adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda 's Tony Award -winning musical In the Heights .[ 17] She also voiced Mirabel Madrigal , the main character in the Disney animated film Encanto , making it her second collaboration with Miranda of the year.[ 18]
In 2019, Beatriz and her Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-star Melissa Fumero were the masters of ceremonies at the National Hispanic Media Coalition Impact Awards.[ 19]
In 2021, Beatriz voiced the lead role in the Texas Rangers -centered crime procedural podcast Tejana .[ 20] The same year it was announced she voiced Ruby Ortiz in Alpha Betas .[ 21] She also serves as an executive producer for Tejana and, as of November 2021,[update] was looking to develop a television series based on the characters.[ 8] She also starred in the sci-fi thriller podcast Solar [ 22] and hosted Wondery 's Twin Flames podcast investigating the dating cult Twin Flames Universe .[ 23] Since 2024, Beatriz has voiced the character Vaggie in Hazbin Hotel .
Personal life
Beatriz has severe astigmatism and requires glasses to see.[ 24] She does not wear them in many of her roles, and her eyes are sensitive to contact lenses; she therefore has difficulty hitting her marks while on camera.[ 25] [ 26]
She has described herself as suffering from disordered eating ,[ 27] which she developed during college.[ 9]
Beatriz first realized that she was bisexual around age 12 or 13.[ 9] She experienced biphobia and bisexual erasure from family and friends.[ 28] In June 2016, she officially came out to the public.[ 29] [ 30]
In October 2017, she announced her engagement to actor Brad Hoss.[ 31] They got married on October 6, 2018.[ 32] In June 2021, she announced her pregnancy,[ 33] and her daughter was born in August 2021.[ 34]
