Veronica Falcón

Falcón was born August 8, 1966, in Mexico City, Mexico.[1] Ignoring stigma perpetuated by her family, Falcón went into the entertainment industry, finding success over three decades working as an actress and choreographer in Mexico's National Opera Company, on Mexican television, and in Mexican film.[2]

In 2016, at the age of 50, she made the decision to risk forgoing an established career in Mexico to further her career in the U.S., strongly believing such opportunities should be taken.[3][4] She is purported to be the first Mexico-born actress to secure a second lead role in a U.S. TV drama, thanks to her role as Camila Vargas in 39 episodes of Queen of the South.[3][5][4][6]

In 2019, Falcón took the recurring role of Clara in eight episodes of the Steven Conrad neo-noir thriller television series Perpetual Grace, LTD alongside Sir Ben Kingsley and Luis Guzmán.[7][8] In 2020, she starred as Marianne Sancar in the film Voyagers alongside Colin Farrell and Lily-Rose Depp.[9][10] She also began starring in the HBO reboot of Perry Mason, where she's the love interest of private investigator Perry Mason, played by Matthew Rhys.[11][12] She will also appear in the 2020 Disney film Jungle Cruise with Dwayne Johnson and Jesse Plemons.[13]
