Diane Guerrero
One of Variety magazine’s Top 10 Latina Actresses to Watch, actor Diane Guerrero draws on personal and professional experiences to show audiences that success is possible—no matter the obstacles in your way.
Diane Guerrero is a series regular on DC Universe/HBO Max’s series Doom Patrol. As “Crazy Jane,” the most powerful member of the show’s titular band of outcast superheroes, she is an unlikely and unstable hero who suffers from the world’s most severe case of multiple personality disorder—each of her 64 distinct personas comes with a different superpower.
She is also known for her role as “Sofia” on the CBS comedy Superior Donuts, and for portraying “Maritza Ramos” on the award-winning, Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated Netflix series Orange is the New Black (for which she received three Screen Actors Guild awards), and she plays "Lina" in CW's break-out hit Jane the Virgin. Most recently, she appeared in SONY's Blast Beat, directed by Estabon Arango, with Daniel Dae Kim and Wilmer Valderrama.
Guerrero’s advocacy work on behalf of Latino voter turnout, immigrants’ rights and for Black Lives Matter stems from her personal story as the U.S.-born daughter of undocumented immigrants who were deported to Colombia when Diane was just 14 years old. Her struggles to achieve the American Dream her parents wished for her were chronicled in her autobiography, In the Country We Love: My Family Divided, which was later adapted for young readers in My Family Divided: One Girl's Journey Of Home, Loss And Hope.
As an activist for immigration reform, she volunteers with the nonprofit Immigrant Legal Resource Center, as well as with Mi Familia Vota, an organization that promotes civic involvement. She has been named an Ambassador for Citizenship and Naturalization by the White House.
Diane Guerrero is an Imagen Award nominee, the winner of multiple Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) awards, and the winner of the GenArt Film Festival award, and the Lupe Ontiveros Indomitable Spirit Award by the National Hispanic Media Coalition. Variety named Guerrero one of the “Top 10 Latina Actresses to Watch.”
