Erica Muñoz is an actress on the rise with the lead role in the HBO feature film "Long Gone By." Erica stars as 'Ana Alvarez,' a single mother from Nicaragua living in Warsaw, Indiana with her teenage daughter 'Izzy.' When a routine check leads to a deportation order, 'Ana' risks everything for a last chance effort to ensure her daughter's college education is financially secure. "Long Gone By" originally premiered at the New York Latino Film Festival and is now streaming on all HBO platforms. Erica's talents were evident at the very early stages of her career when she was accepted into the prestigious California Institute of the Arts as a voice major. Simultaneously, she attended an open call for the Pulitzer prize winning musical RENT and was offered a role, which she took, forgoing the institute, to pursue her dream of acting on Broadway. She followed her stage career, with a return to Los Angeles to pursue television and film. Erica can be seen in the CBS series "Jericho," CBS' "Numb3rs," and the VH1 sketch comedy show "Acceptable TV," which also starred Dan Harmon and Jack Black. Most recently on the TV front, she can be seen on "Grey's Anatomy" playing Wilmer Valderrama's sister and NBC's "Indebted" with Fran Drescher. Her film career includes "Sueño," opposite John Leguizamo and Elizabeth Peña and "Days of Wrath" starring Amber Valletta, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Lauren Fishburne. From the start of her career, Erica strived to highlight the importance of Latinx presence in Hollywood. She was invited to participate in CBS' Diversity Showcase, sponsored by CBS and the Screen Actors Guild, displaying minority talent in the entertainment industry. She brings that same energy to 2020 and is working on amplifying the voices of Latinx actors while developing an upcoming online project. She is also heavily involved in her community with a focus on equity in public education via a dual immersion program. She is a proud mother of two young children and currently resides in Los Angeles.
