Blue Bloods 'Cellar Boy' - Who Plays Yolanda Gonsalves & Had We Seen Her Before?

Before “Blue Bloods,” Andrea Navedo worked on notable titles like “One Life to Live,” “Guiding Light,” “Law & Order,” “El cantante,” and “Remember Me.” After she pulled double duty as twins on the CBS series, she added several credits to her portfolio, like civil rights activist Carmen Delgado Votaw in “Mrs. America” and Xiomara Villanueva in the cast of “Jane the Virgin,” which earned her the 2015 Imagen Award for best supporting actress in television.

Navedo would later chronicle her rewarding life and career in a book published in July 2023. When discussing her reasoning for writing “Our Otherness Is Our Strength: Wisdom from the Boogie Down Bronx,” she revealed a fascinating realization about acting she discovered along the way. “Being of service was the ultimate goal,” the actor said in an interview with Awakened-Woman. “I realized while on ‘Jane the Virgin’ that acting was not just for me. It was much bigger than me, I understood that I had a platform. I wanted to demystify celebrities, who actors are, and who I am then use my life experience to help others, if I could. At the very least, share my experiences. Hopefully, someone else might see themselves in me and be inspired in their own life.”

It is very evident that Navedo learned a lot while in the spotlight, and she hopes that her efforts in front of the camera, whether on “Jane the Virgin” or a pair of “Blue Bloods” episodes, can help those who have enjoyed and supported her work over the years.
