This Fool

Laura was born in Mérida, the vibrant capital of the Mexican state of Yucatán. She began her career after graduating from El Instituto de Arte Escénico, where she learned and trained the craft of acting. After moving to the states, Laura was a force to be reckoned with. She began her acting career in shows such as Vida, Bosch, The Politician, Undone, Mayans Mc, and Shameless among many others. Laura’s acting credits continued to grow due to her recurring television credits. Laura became a recurring guest star on Showtime’s The L Word: Generation Q where she played Nana, Cartoon Network’s Annie Award-nominated series Victor and Valentino where she voices the loveable Grandma Chata (appearing in over 45 episodes), and Netflix’s feel-good comedy and Latinx focus series Gentefied where she plays Beatriz Morales, opposite of Joaquín Cosío and Karrie Martin Lachney.

Excitingly, Laura will star alongside Latino comedian Chris Estrada as a series regular in the highly anticipated, ABC Signature comedy, This Fool. Laura will play the strong-willed, pragmatic, and loving Esperanza who lives with her 30-year-old son Julio (Chris Estrada). This Fool is to premiere on Hulu this year.
