“I always thought I was going to be too shy to actually do it, but once I did it, something switched ... and then I became obsessed,” Arjona says.but her television debut came a decade ago, with a couple spots on network procedurals. Since then, she's secured notable roles in projects like “Narcos,” “True Detective,” and “Andor,” crescendoing into a wildly productive 2024 with leading roles alongside A-list colleagues.
“I always put this pressure on myself of making a difference for Latin Americans in cinema, just playing different roles and trying not to get stereotyped ... it took me a long time,” she said. She quickly learned to advocate for herself in Hollywood and credits collaborators like Linklater for believing in her and presenting her the opportunity to flex her writing skills. While working on “Hit Man,” Arjona contributed to the second part of the comedy’s script — something Powell also noted.
