Alondra Delgado (Mayans M.C.) plays Vanessa Montes on the third season of the CW football drama All American. Vanessa is the “new girl” in school and the new head coach’s daughter. Unapologetic and confident, she doesn’t let the extra attention that comes with being the new kid phase her. She has a surprising history with one of her classmates. Delgado most recently has recurred on FX’s Mayans M.C.

Delgado is a very proud boricua born in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico and raised in Arecibo by a close-knit family. She fell in love with entertainment at an early age, and her family eventually moved to Los Angeles so she could pursue her dreams. In collaboration with Entertainment Affair, we chatted with the actress about her new role on the CW series and how she feels about being the only Latina in the show.
