Biography
Eiza González Reyna was born on January 30, 1990, in Mexico City, Mexico. She went to several well-known schools, like the American School Foundation of Mexico City, Edron Academy, and the Centro de Educación Artística de Televisa, which trains performers for the entertainment industry. She later improved her acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, which is famous for its method acting.
González started her entertainment career as a singer, releasing her debut album Contracorriente in 2009 when she was 19. Her acting breakthrough came with the Nickelodeon teen sitcom Sueña conmigo, which aired from 2010 to 2011 and made her a hit among Latin American youth. During this time, she kept up her music career, releasing her second album Te Acordarás de Mí in 2012. The telenovela Amores verdaderos further cemented her status in Mexican TV.
When she moved to American entertainment, González got a key role in the horror series From Dusk till Dawn: The Series, which aired from 2014 to 2016. This marked her start in English-language productions and showed her ability to work in different markets and languages. Her movie career picked up with Edgar Wright's action film Baby Driver in 2017, where she starred with well-known Hollywood actors.
González continued adding to her filmography with roles in major studio films like Alita: Battle Angel (2019), Bloodshot (2020), and Ambulance (2022). Her recent projects include the science fiction series 3 Body Problem and the action-comedy The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare in 2024. In 2025, she starred in Flying Lotus' science fiction horror film Ash, showing her range across different genres and keeping up her presence in both TV and movies.
Before Fame
Growing up in Mexico City, González got an early start in the entertainment industry through her studies at the Centro de Educación Artística de Televisa, a school that has trained many Mexican performers. Attending international schools in Mexico City, she learned multiple languages, which later helped her move into Hollywood productions.
In the late 2000s and early 2010s, more Latin American entertainers were starting to make it into mainstream American entertainment. González's early music career and TV work in Mexico set her up well to take advantage of this trend, especially as streaming services and international co-productions began offering more roles for bilingual performers.
