You Might Know Her From

Roma Maffia


Listen Later

This week we are joined by the very dreamy Roma Maffia. You Might Know Her From Nip/Tuck, Disclosure, Double Jeopardy, Pretty Little Liars, Queen Sugar, Nick of Time, and Profiler. Roma dished with us about the highs and lows of playing lesbian Liz Cruz on Ryan's Murphy's Nip/Tuck, navigating Hollywood as a woman of color while never playing your own ethnicity, and having to consider whether or not you can let your hair go grey for your job. All that, plus Anne and Roma are the same height, back to back.
