Mayans M.C. | Inside Look: Selene Luna | FX
"Little People who want to be actors should not be limited to hiding in costumes, leprechauns, elves, fantasy creatures; we should also have equal access to human roles. Being nonhuman means that you are less than. I am a human being with valid points of view, passions and flaws. As an actor, I have a lot more to offer than a faceless voiceless creature.” — Selene Luna
Selene Luna is Soledad on FX's Mayans M.C. and the voice of Tía Rosita in Disney-Pixar’s Academy Award & Golden Globe Awards' Winner COCO. Selene is an established presence in Hollywood with multiple roles in movies and TV shows such as Celebrity Wife Swap, Lionsgate’s My Bloody Valentine 3D, and Margaret Cho’s The Cho Show, and broke ground as a featured burlesque dancer in five national tours of the undisputed Queen of Burlesque, Dita Von Teese. Luna’s most celebrated standup comedy credit has been opening for several of Margaret Cho’s national tours. Luna took to Washington, DC by meeting with legislators like, U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, at the 2019 Conference on Independent Living to advocate for disability rights and spoke at a rally on Capitol Hill alongside U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer. In 2020, Luna pivoted during the pandemic by successfully producing Selene Luna’s Comedy Liberation, a virtual standup comedy show spotlighting comics with disabilities to ensure equity in entertainment by providing comics with disabilities an equal platform through a virtual setting.
