By: Cindy G. Castillo
Jenna Ortega is well on her way to become a Hollywood breakthrough in 2016.
The star might only be 13 years old, but her resume already expands to big-name projects, including the CW’s “Jane the Virgin” and “CSI: New York.”
Born in Coachella Valley, California, Ortega began acting when she was eight, and has since gone to appear in feature films such as “Insidious: Chapter 2” and “Iron Man 3.”
Now, she’s taking her talents to The Disney Channel in the new sitcom, “Stuck in the Middle,” where she’ll be playing Harley Diaz, a tween inventor, experimenter, mediator and persuader. Created by Alison Brown, the story follows Harley as she maneuvers her way through the bustle and hustle that comes with being part of a family of nine.
The series stars an all-Latino cast, including Isaak Presley, Ronni Hawk, Kayla Maisonet, Joe Nieves, among others.
“Stuck in the Middle” premieres this Friday on The Disney Channel.
