Early life
Rodríguez was born July 29, 1987 in Miami, Florida. Her mother, Carolina Pérez, is a Cuban model. Her father, José Luis Rodríguez, is a Venezuelan actor and singer who is also known by the nickname "El Puma". She speaks both English and Spanish fluently. Rodríguez has two half-sisters through her father, telenovela actresses Liliana Rodríguez and Lilibeth (Rodríguez) Morillo. When she was 2½ years old, she entered the Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart in Miami. She participated in school dramatic productions and, at a very young age, decided to pursue an acting career. As a teenager, she studied acting, dance and vocal preparation.
When Rodríguez's parents observed her determination for the craft, they enrolled her in more intense training programs. She attended summer classes at The Lee Strasberg Theater and Film institutes in New York and studied with well-known acting instruction programs in California.
Career
Upon returning to Miami, she continued private instruction and obtained a recurring role on the American daytime series Days of Our Lives from November 2005 through January 2006. She was also a repeat special guest on the Bravo TV series Top Chef. In addition to American television, Rodriguez explored Spanish language roles and played dual leads as Rosita Amado and Violeta Hurtado in the primetime series Dame Chocolate, which aired on Telemundo.
In 2012, Rodríguez had a substantial role as the love interest of Will Ferrell in the movie comedy Casa de Mi Padre, a spoof in the style of the Mexican soap operas of the 1970s. She followed that role with an appearance in The Last Stand in 2013, playing villainous FBI Agent Ellen Richards, as well as appearing in the comedy Identity Thief as Marisol. Rodríguez lent her voice to Honey Lemon in the 2014 film Big Hero 6. In February 2017 she started as the main female role in the video of Romeo Santos Heroe Favorito.
