Michelle Rodriguez

Michelle Rodriguez is an American actress who broke out in Girlfight (2000), playing a teenage boxer in a role she won over 350 other applicants despite never having acted before, training for four months to prepare; the performance earned her the Independent Spirit and Gotham Awards for Best Debut Performance. She went on to play Letty Ortiz in the Fast & Furious franchise beginning in 2001, alongside roles in Blue Crush (2002), S.W.A.T. (2003), Lost (2004), Avatar (2009), and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023). She has spoken about her bisexuality in interviews, describing herself as attracted to both men and women and resisting the pressure to pick a label, while also noting she tends to identify more with men romantically. Rodriguez has spoken about bisexuality and queerness in ways that push against binary definitions and has been a visible bisexual presence in mainstream action cinema.
