Bianca A. Santos

Actress Bianca Santos first showcased her talents with supporting parts in family drama "The Fosters" (ABC 2013-) and teen horror flick "Ouija" (2014) before landing her first lead role in the critically-acclaimed theme park-based comedy "Happyland" (MTV, 2014-). Born in Santa Monica, CA to a Brazilian father and Cuban mother in 1990, Santos dreamed of being a Hollywood star from a young age, and after finishing her psychology studies at college, began to focus entirely on her acting ambitions. After securing roles in some short films, she appeared as Anna in the TV movie "Brodowski & Company" (2013) and Cindy in casting call comedy "Channing" (2013). Her breakthrough role arrived later that year when she was cast as Mariana's best friend and Jesus' first love, Lexi Rivera, in a well-reviewed family drama executive produced by her idol Jennifer Lopez, "The Fosters" (ABC, 2013- ). Santos then ventured onto the big screen for the first time in Hasbro-produced teen horror "Ouija" (2014), where she played Isabelle, one of five friends who accidentally awaken an evil spirit during a seance. Spotting her potential, the producers of comedy drama "Happyland" (MTV, 2014-) selected Santos for the lead role of Lucy Velez, a cynical theme park attendant who suddenly discovers that two of her co-workers are in fact her long-lost brother and father. Santos then confirmed her status as one of the most in-demand young Latina actresses on the scene when she was cast as fun-loving Casey in the adaptation of Kody Keplinger's hit novel "The Duff" (2015).
