Andrea Londo

Andrea Londo (born November 7, 1992) is a Mexican-American actress. She is known for portraying Maria Salazar in Narcos Season 3.[1][2]

Career

Londo is a border child. She was born in San Diego, CA but lived in Tijuana, Mexico until she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. For eighteen years she crossed the Mexican-American border everyday to go to school. She spent the first half of the day at school in San Diego and the second half at home in Tijuana.[3]

Londo has never been to acting school or taken any classes.[3] She began her career doing short films. In 2015 she made her professional acting debut in Catfish: The TV Show, her first TV credit. It was in 2016 that she appeared in her first TV guest star appearance on Faking it, and her first co-star on Criminal Minds Beyond Borders, and then her first recurring role on Narcos as Maria Salazar.[1]

In 2017, it was announced that Londo would be playing Carnalita in Kurt Sutter's Sons of Anarchy spinoff Mayans M.C..[4] The role was later recast and went to Carla Baratta.[5] Londo was still filming Narcos and her schedules ended up conflicting. Of the experience she said: "I had to get recast 3 days before I was scheduled to shoot the pilot. It's been one of the hardest lessons of my acting career thus far, but only motivated me that much more."[3]

In 2018, Londo played Cynthia in Sony's action thriller Superfly, directed by Director X.[6][7][8]

Londo will star alongside Jackson Rathbone and Wendy Robie in "Dreaming Grand Avenue". [3]
