Veronica Falcón

Biography

Verónica Falcón is a formidable Mexican actress and choreographer whose career is a testament to the idea that it is never too late to reinvent yourself. After three decades of immense success in Mexico—working with the National Opera Company and appearing in acclaimed films like Days of Grace—she made the bold decision to move to the U.S. at age 50. This risk paid off immediately when she was cast as the ruthless Camila Vargas in Queen of the South, making her the first Mexico-born actress to secure a second lead role in a U.S. television drama. Since then, she has become a go-to performer for "strong, uncompromising women," with standout roles in Ozark, Perry Mason, and Why Women Kill. Beyond her dramatic television work, Falcón has carved out a significant space in big-screen genre films. She appeared in Disney's Jungle Cruise and the horror hit The Forever Purge. To be honest, it is her background as a professional choreographer that often gives her characters such a distinct, commanding physical presence on screen. As of 2026, she is part of the core ensemble for Lee Cronin’s highly anticipated reimagining of The Mummy, where she stars alongside Jack Reynor and Laia Costa. Her transition from a Mexican industry icon to a versatile Hollywood powerhouse has made her one of the most respected Latina actresses working today.
