Whether an actor was born or raised in San Antonio or relocated here, it's likely we're going to claim them forever. From Jesse Borrego (Blood in Blood Out), who's lived here most his life, to Michelle Rodriguez (Fast X), who was born here but left at the age of six, no one can escape their connection to the 210.
These San Antonio-linked actors are premiering films and TV series in 2024.
Nicholas Gonzalez
San Antonio-born actor Nicholas Gonzalez (The Good Doctor) has returned for the third and final season of the sci-fi drama series La Brea on NBC. On the show, Gonzalez plays Capt.

The season premiered Jan. 9 on NBC.
Noël Wells
Former Saturday Night Live cast member and San Antonio-born comedian and director Noël Wells (Mr. Roosevelt) will reprise her role as Kelsey Pokoly in the animated feature film Craig Before the Creek.
