Rosario Dawson | Kids

Talk about being lucky— Rosario Dawson didn’t even have to line up for auditions or hire a talent agent to be discovered in show business. She was simply sitting outside her house on the porch when a screenwriter spotted her. He asked her to try a screen test for Kids and landed the role of Ruby as if it was really meant for her. She followed her debut role with a series of music videos, independent films, and blockbusters.

A few years later, Dawson received voice roles in comic book adaptations, such as Batgirl in The Lego Batman Movie and Wonder Woman in the DC Animated Movie Universe. Television and movie roles have been rolling in for the flooring actress ever since. As for her latest projects, she is set to portray the titular character in the new Disney series Ahsoka.
