Korean and Dominican-American actress, Julee Cerda is a writer, and producer from New York, celebrated for bringing bold, layered characters to life across stage and screen. Most recently, she starred opposite Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal in the 2025 Broadway production of Othello. Up next, she co-stars in Angel Studios’ and Kevin James’ romantic comedy Solo Mio, alongside Alyson Hannigan and Kim Coates, slated for release just ahead of Valentine’s Day 2026.
Julee began her career as a co-founder of the Latino theatre collective Tangana!, where she wrote and performed original sketch comedy at New York’s iconic Nuyorican Poets Café. She made her Broadway debut in 2018 in Kenny Leon’s revival of Children of a Lesser God and later appeared on stage as Ginny in Lydia R. Diamond’s Smart People at Atlanta’s True Colors Theatre.
On television, Julee was a series regular on Disney+’s The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, opposite Josh Duhamel, Emilio Estevez, and Lauren Graham. She has also delivered standout performances on Orange Is the New Black, Blue Bloods, Homeland, House of Cards, Marvel’s Iron Fist, Blindspot, and Showtime’s The Loudest Voice. Her film credits include Amazon MGM’s Maintenance Required, The Intern, Passengers, Hulu’s Vacation Friends 2, and a memorable turn as the Evil Stepmother in Disney+’s Descendants: The Rise of Red.
Her latest project, SOLO MIO—also starring Kevin James, Alyson Hannigan, Kim Coates, Jonathan Roumie, Julie Ann Emery, and Nicole Grimaudo—follows a groom stranded in Rome after a wedding disaster whose ruined honeymoon takes an unexpected turn, proving heartbreak might just be the beginning.
