The Bronx-born stage and screen veteran on bonding with Philip Seymour Hoffman, facing years of rejection, and the pandemic-forced turning point that brought her to this moment.

Yet, unless you were particularly tapped into the world of New York theater, Colón-Zayas’s name is one you likely became familiar with only recently, thanks to The Bear . Colón-Zayas stars as Tina Marrero, the veteran line cook who—if a bit reluctantly—finds new purpose in life as her new boss, Carmy , institutes major changes to her workplace.

People like Philip Hoffman wanted to be a part of this. I was able to find a community that was safe, that saw me, and then learned from the best. I feel that that’s Tina’s journey. Just before The Bear, I caught you in In Treatment. It was the first time onscreen that I’d really gotten to see what you can do, in these really intense two-handers with Uzo Aduba. How do you reflect on that opportunity? I was a fan of In Treatment when it was first airing over a decade ago.
