According to the LDC 2022 report, less than 4 percent of lead and/or supporting roles go to Latino actors, and less than 3 percent of shows had a lead Latino actor in 2022.

Access HERELatinos represent just 2.6% of leading actors on TV, 1.4% of producers and 1.5% of directors, a contrast with the country’s real demographics that Ana Valdez, CEO of Latino Donor Collaborative, calls “devastating”. "We don't exist because there is a devastating gap between the reality of who we are as Latinos and the way we are portrayed and the way we are imagined", she said.
