  • Frankie Rodriguez, who portrays Carlos on High School Musical, the musical, the series, speaks about Hispanic Latinx Heritage Month. As a Mexican-American, this Heritage Month holds great significance for him. It is a time not only to celebrate his cultural background with his family but also to reflect on the sacrifices made by both sets of his grandparents when they came to the United States. Despite not knowing English or being able to read and write, they prioritized their family and built a life from scratch, eventually becoming U.S. citizens.Rodriguez recalls one of the first instances when he felt represented in media was through the show Ugly Betty and a character who resembled him in appearance, behavior, and speech. This representation made him feel less alone and isolated.In High School Musical, the musical, the series, Rodriguez portrays Carlos Rodriguez, a student choreographer at East High and the best friend, assistant, and confidant of Miss Jen. He sees a lot of himself in Carlos, especially at that age, as both share a passion for musical theater. Carlos has become one of Rodriguez's favorite characters to portray.Rodriguez believes that his portrayal of Carlos brings a unique representation to television, showcasing aspects of his heritage that have not been widely seen before. He finds it refreshing to be able to infuse so much of his own experiences and upbringing into the character.
