Stephanie Beatriz thought she wouldn’t be cast in Brooklyn Nine-Nine
I was so happy to see a Latina [Melissa Fumero] on the show, but also so devastated because I knew… I knew there was not going to be any network that was going to cast both of us as ensemble leads on a show. So I cried a lot. And I was devastated. I showed a couple of friends at the time and I was like, *imitates crying* “I’m really happy for her but I really wanted that show.” Then it was like two days later that I got the call [that I was cast], and I was gobsmacked. I was like, “the world is fucking changing.” And it’s such a testament to the show that they cast both of us. And not only us, but also Terry Crews and Andre Braugher [two black men] in positions of power.

“I saw on the page, ‘Mom and Dad, I need to tell you something. I’m bisexual.’ The words were there on the page and … if I had seen something like that when I was a kid, I wouldn’t have felt as strange or alone or weird or, in some cases, for me … perverted,” she says, tears welling up in her eyes. “I felt like there was something wrong with me, and I felt like I wanted to scratch off my own skin when I felt those urges and feelings. And there it was in a script that I was going to help bring to life. It was an incredible moment for me.” Stephanie Beatriz for The Advocate
