Latinx actors and people are pushing for better representation in television and movies. While Hollywood still has plenty of work when it comes to diversity both in front of the camera and behind, the tide continues to turn when it comes to entertainment. Latinxs made up 21% of all movie ticket sales in 2016 and are the second-fastest-growing racial or ethnic group in the U.S. population. Although on-screen representation remains remarkably low, it’s making leaps like never before, especially when it comes to showcasing complex characters that do more than just meet a diversity quota.

From upcoming shows such as Charmed to fan favorites including On My Block and Jane the Virgin, Latinx actors are finally claiming roles that portray well-rounded people with a variety of storylines and life experiences. They may have been missing at the 2018 Emmys, but these are 28 stars currently pulling up a seat at the table.
