Román Zaragoza on ‘Ghosts’ and Growing Native Representation in Mainstream Media

I was having a quarter life crisis at 18, and I decided to go to Cal State Northridge. It’s a state school in L.A. for film production to learn how to make my own projects, so it was around 19 years of really figuring out what I want to do with my life. Do I want to act in other people’s projects where I get to play stereotypical characters, or do I want to write my own and produce my own and star in my own projects? So that was something I got really excited about when I was around 18, 19. And pretty much it just took off from there, and I’m very grateful for finding my voice. -- New York Observer

‘Waitress’ actress Ayon brings a lot to the table; Musical coming to Proctors

“There are so many things to like about this show, and I did see it when the first tour came to Los Angeles,” said Ayon, a 2019 graduate of Cal State-Northridge. “I loved it, but being a woman of color I didn’t necessarily see myself in the lead role. If there is a caucasian in the lead, I kind of figure the role is not for me. That’s the dialogue I have going on in my head. ‘This is a great show, but it’s not something I will ever do.’ Well, that’s not the way you want to feel. -- Daily Gazette
