Natalia Reyes is one of the most notorious Colombians in Hollywood. The actress, born in Bogota, Colombia, has had an expansive and respected film career, known for her involvement in international and U.S.-based projects. Reyes’ career started off with supporting roles in the Nickelodeon series “Isa TKM,” which was shot and produced in Venezuela. She starred in shows like “Muńoz vale X2,” and “Bermudez,” but her big break came when she was cast in “Cumbia Ninja,” in 2013. The Colombian series was broadcast on the FOX Channel, and it was a mix of drama, science fiction, and mystery, earning favorable reviews from viewers and critics. Natalia was then cast as the lead in “Lady, La Vendedora de Rosas,” a crime show that showcased Reyes’ acting talents and capacity for drama roles.
