Xochitl Gomez
Xochitl Gomez is an American actress born on April 29, 2006, in Los Angeles, California. Raised in a Mexican-American household, she was immersed in her cultural heritage from a young age, with Spanish spoken at home and a strong connection to her community. Gomez's journey into acting began at age five with musical theater, leading to performances in 22 full-length musicals by the time she was 12. She also acted in student films and commercials, honing her craft through rigorous training in martial arts, including wushu, kickboxing, and stunt work. Her professional breakthrough came in 2020 when she was cast as Dawn Schafer in Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club. That same year, she auditioned for the role of America Chavez in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Initially written for an 18-year-old, the character was reimagined as a 14-year-old, aligning with Gomez's age. To prepare, she intensified her training regimen, dedicating hours to kickboxing and stunt work every other day. Her commitment paid off when she was cast as America Chavez, Marvel's first queer Latina superhero, making her debut in the MCU film released in May 2022 . In 2023, Gomez showcased her versatility by winning Season 32 of Dancing with the Stars, becoming the youngest celebrity to win the competition at 17 years old. Her victory highlighted her dynamic talent and broad appeal.
