Stephanie Beatriz, born February 10, 1981, in Neuquén, Argentina, just oozes charisma, both on-screen and off. You probably know her best as the deadpan detective Rosa Diaz in Brooklyn Nine-Nine—one of those breakout roles that sticks in your head long after the credits roll. But honestly, her talents aren’t boxed into just cop comedies. She’s got range for days. Take Encanto (2021), for example. That was a whole other world. She lent her voice to Mirabel, bringing heart, humor, and a dash of awkwardness to Disney’s magical misfit. It’s not easy to stand out in an animated musical packed with eccentric characters and catchy tunes, but she totally pulled it off. Before that, she was in Short Term 12 (2013), a gritty indie drama with Brie Larson, and she held her ground amongst some serious acting heavyweights. And she’s not just acting—she’s directed, too. Multitalented, right? Off the set, Stephanie’s been married to Brad Hoss since October 6, 2018, and they’ve got a kid together. It’s kind of wild seeing her social media compared to her roles; she’s goofy, genuine, and way softer than her tough-as-nails TV persona. So, whether she’s voicing a Disney lead, busting bad guys in Brooklyn, or making indie films shine, Stephanie Beatriz keeps shaking things up. Her career’s proof you don’t have to fit a mold—she pretty much broke it.
Stephens College, class of 2002—yeah, that’s where she wrapped up her studies. Not exactly the most famous alum to ever walk those halls, but hey, plenty of creatives have started out on small-town campuses just like this one. You can almost imagine her cramming for finals, maybe sneaking out to grab late-night snacks with friends, plotting the next big step. College life in the early 2000s was a weird mix of dial-up internet, chunky cell phones, and that awkward phase before social media took over everything. It’s wild to think how much the world shifted in just a few years after she graduated. People probably still used actual paper for assignments. Anyway, Stephens has this nice legacy of empowering women, and a lot of grads go on to do some cool, unexpected things. Finishing in 2002? That’s a badge of honor. Just the right moment before everything got way too digital.
referencennMan, I can’t even explain how pumped I was about this. Growing up bi and queer, it was just... nothing. Nada. Every gay character I saw on TV was a walking cliché—like, come on, can we catch a break? Being bi, especially, forget it. Zero folks I could look at and think, “Hey, that’s me!” It’s wild how invisible you feel. So when I finally got the chance to help shape a show and actually bring in a character who comes out as bi? That hit different. It meant the world to me, honestly. It’s more than just making TV—it’s about giving kids like me something real to see. Representation actually matters, you know? Sometimes, seeing someone like you on screen can change how you see yourself. It’s something I wish I’d had.
