Adria Arjona, an accomplished actress known for her compelling performances in crime-driven television series, first gained attention for her roles in “Person of Interest” (CBS, 2011–16) and “True Detective” (HBO, 2014– ). These appearances, marked by their intensity and emotional depth, paved the way for her first leading role in “Emerald City” (NBC, 2017), as well as supporting parts in several major Hollywood films.
Born on April 25, 1992, in Puerto Rico, Adria Arjona grew up in a musical household as the daughter of Richard Arjona, a well-known Guatemalan singer. Although she spent much of her childhood in Mexico City, she often traveled with her father across Latin and South America during his concert tours. Eventually, her family settled in Miami, Florida, where she spent her teenage years. At the age of 18, she made the decision to pursue a career in acting and moved to New York City to train at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute.
Her acting debut came in 2012 with a role in the Spanish-language short film “Loss: A Short Film.” Shortly thereafter, Arjona began making her mark on American television. She appeared in a recurring role as a tenacious NYPD detective in “Person of Interest,” and portrayed the girlfriend of a troubled law enforcement officer, played by Taylor Kitsch, in the second season of “True Detective.” These roles significantly elevated her visibility in the entertainment industry.
Thanks to the acclaim she received, Arjona landed what many consider her breakout role as an adult version of Dorothy Gale in “Emerald City,” a darker, more mature reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s classic “Oz” stories. While filming the series, she also secured supporting roles in several high-profile feature films. These included the intense thriller “The Belko Experiment” (2016), directed by James Gunn; the eagerly anticipated sequel “Pacific Rim: Maelstrom” (2018), helmed by Guillermo del Toro; and the comedy “Life of the Party” (2018), co-written by and starring Melissa McCarthy.
Throughout her career, Adria Arjona has consistently demonstrated her versatility and depth as a performer, taking on a wide range of roles that showcase her talent and dedication to the craft.
Adria Arjona has been part of several films, but her highest-rated project to date is Hit Man (2023), which received widespread acclaim. On the other hand, her lowest-rated film remains Morbius (2022), which faced a more mixed reception. Throughout her career, Adria Arjona has shown versatility, but these two films represent the extremes in terms of audience and critic response. While Hit Man showcased Adria Arjona’s talent in a more favorable light, Morbius proved to be a more challenging project in terms of public perception.
