Adria Arjona recently expressed immense gratitude for her role in Andor, stating that the series reportedly “opened so many doors” for her. In a new confessional with Elle, the 33-year-old actress revealed that her involvement in the Star Wars series allowed her to secure multiple subsequent roles. Adria portrayed Bix Caleen in the acclaimed sci-fi series.
Sharing her experience, she commented, “After season 1, I got different roles, and I got different opportunities because of Andor.” She continued, “I don’t think I would’ve gotten them without Andor. I think it’s definitely opened so many doors for me, but it’s also been the biggest school I’ve ever been to.”
Furthermore, she lauded her team, asserting that they are all exceptional in their respective fields. She stated, “I’ve been working with the best of the best: best writers, best costume designers, the best hair designer and makeup (artists), the best actors, best cinematographer,” noting, “I was just like a sponge learning from every department.”
Speaking about the show’s creator, Tony Gilroy, she disclosed, “I think Tony Gilroy really saw something in me before anyone else did.” Adria concluded by remarking, “He really believed that I had what it took to play this role without really much reference of my work. He had no doubt in me. When someone has no doubt in you, you stop doubting yourself.”
