Danielle Vega Interview

NT: Why did you choose to eat here at El Cholo?

I’ve been at this restaurant before and I loved the food. I also felt it was a great place both to eat and to be for the interview.

NT: Why did you choose to go to college and study broadcast journalism to then pursue a career in acting?

Acting has always been a passion of mine. actually  I started acting at the age of nine on “Barney and Friends.” I didn’t want to get my degree in the theatre because [I had] already been acting for so long and [had] taken classes before I was even on “Barney and Friends.”

I figured, “I’m going to get my degree in something that I can potentially use if acting doesn’t work out.”

Human Trafficking

NT: I saw your reel and I really liked it! In your reel, there was a scene from this short film that you did about human trafficking. What made you want to do that?

I consider myself to be a feminist and when my agent asked me if I was interested in doing that piece I said, “Yes!” It was a PSA and it didn’t pay much, but working with the director got my interest in the PSA.

I’m with [President] Lincoln basically saying that he freed the slaves, but we still have slavery going on today. I definitely wanted to be a part of that and I liked the message and movement they were going for.

NT: You can also say that topic and theme has a long way to go and connect with the misrepresentation of races in the media. I feel that minorities still have a long way to go.

Yes, I agree! It’s kind of sad how far we’ve actually gone in baby steps, but at least we are continuing to see progress.

I don’t feel like it’s asking for too much, but it’s actually really funny that I got that role and later on I found out Ceci’s journey East Los High in season two.

Domestic Abuse

NT: Speaking about domestic abuse and how your character in East Los High has to deal with that, my nail lady had told me a story about one of her clients suffering through an abusive marriage and how she couldn’t leave him because she was afraid. If I was that woman, I would have left, but sadly not everyone has the strength to do that.

I also know that financial stability is another factor that women take into consideration in a case like that because their husband is their source of income and if you were to leave that, what are you going to do?

With my character, Ceci, that’s something that she’s dealing with as well. I know when I was researching the role, I turned to a lot of people who were close to me who have been in those situations, which is disheartening.

NT: Where do you see your character heading in the new season?

I get asked that a lot by my fans and I honestly don’t know. I hope that Ceci is strong enough to throw in the towel and leave if Pedro [her boyfriend] doesn’t change and continues to behave violently.

NT: How is it like on a set of “East Los High?”
