Meet Priscilla Delgado, who plays Angel in HBO Max’s Euphoria with Zendaya
The Puerto Rican actress originally auditioned for the role of Maddy, played by Alexa Demie, before landing the show with Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi
As fans eagerly await the show’s remaining episodes, here’s what to know about the newcomer to Euphoria.
She always knew she wanted to act
Delgado was born in March 2002 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to a Puerto Rican mother and a Spanish father. In an interview with Metal magazine, she revealed she’d always known she wanted to act. “There wasn’t a specific moment when I realised it or when I watched a film and thought, ‘This is what I want to do.’ It all came very naturally to me, from early on,” she explained.
The 24-year-old has been acting since the age of seven, when she made her debut in an episode of the 2009 show, La Chica de Ayer (Yesterday’s Girl), a Spanish-language remake of the hit British sci-fi series Life on Mars.
The actress went on to star in various Spanish-language TV shows and films. She moved to the US to finish high school and eventually to LA to pursue a career in Hollywood.
