Biography

[edit]

Cristina Rodlo was born on May 21, 1990, was brought up in the city of Torreón in Coahuila, northern Mexico.[1] She took part in a theatre production at the age of 11 and decided from that moment that she wanted to be an actress.[1] After attending auditions in Monterrey for a position at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in New York City, Roldo was offered a scholarship, only to be told by her parents it was unaffordable. She sought sponsorship from local companies unsuccessfully, but eventually found a local politician who agreed to finance the cost of her training,[1] so at age 18, she left Mexico to learn acting at AMDA in New York City.[2] Rodlo now resides in Los Angeles(2020).[2]

Career

[edit]

After graduating from AMDA, Rodlo returned to Mexico, as she was advised that "she did not look Mexican enough" to land stereotypical Latino roles in the United States at the time.[1] Rodlo forged a successful career in Mexico,[3] appearing in 23 episodes of El Vato and 92 episodes of Vuelve Temprano between 2016 and 2017,[3] eventually achieving a nomination of Mejor revelación femenina (Best Newcomer - Female) at the 2016 Diosas de Plata awards,[4] for her performance as Jackie Ramírez in the 2015 movie Ladrones (Bandits)[4]

In 2020, Rodlo joined the inaugural cast of 68 Whiskey to play army medic Rosa Alvarez, in an American military comedy-drama television series (purportedly similar to M*A*S*H) produced by Ron Howard.[8] In 2021, Rodlo played the lead role in the Santiago Menghini directed Netflix horror film No One Gets Out Alive, alongside Marc Menchaca.[9] The film was shot in Bucharest,[9] Romania, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]

In 2022, Rodlo was the protagonist in the Roque Falabella directed Vix horror movie El Vestido De La Novia (En. The Dress of the Bride), alongside Mariano Palacios, where her dream wedding was about to turn into a nightmare.[11]
