Career
Londo is a border child. She was born in San Diego, CA but lived in Tijuana, Mexico until she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career . For eighteen years she crossed the Mexican-American border everyday to go to school. She spent the first half of the day at school in San Diego and the second half at home in Tijuana.[3]
Londo has never been to acting school or taken any classes.[3] She began her career doing short films. In 2015 she made her professional acting debut in Catfish: The TV Show, her first TV credit. It was in 2016 that she appeared in her first TV guest star appearance on Faking it, and her first co-star on Criminal Minds Beyond Borders, and then her first recurring role on Narcos as Maria Salazar.[1]
In 2017, it was announced that Londo would be playing Carnalita in Kurt Sutter's Sons of Anarchy spinoff Mayans M.C..[4] The role was later recast and went to Carla Baratta.[5] Londo was still filming Narcos and her schedules ended up conflicting. Of the experience she said: "I had to get recast 3 days before I was scheduled to shoot the pilot. It's been one of the hardest lessons of my acting career thus far, but only motivated me that much more."[3]
In 2018, Londo played Cynthia in Sony's action thriller Superfly, directed by Director X.[6][7][8]
Londo will star alongside Jackson Rathbone and Wendy Robie in "Dreaming Grand Avenue". [3]
