Bianca Lopez was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Literally born in Hollywood, she started acting on stage at the age of five. She’s a first generation Latina with roots in Nicaragua and Ecuador. Bianca’s passion started in theater and she got to explore that more deeply when she went to the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. After high school, Bianca went on to study at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

She transitioned to TV and Film in her late teens. Bianca burst into A-List Hollywood through her portrayal of the tormenting Cheerleader, Fontana, in The Princess Diaries. She has maintained an active acting career, worked with legends like Jane Fonda, and most recently appeared opposite Jason Segal on the Apple TV+ show Shrinking.

Commercials have also played a big part in Bianca’s journey as an actor, and she’s currently a spokesperson for Credit One Bank. Bianca also has several years of stand-up under her belt, including producing her own stand up shows with other female comics, called The Comedy Coven. This fall, she is branching out into hosting, with the new podcast docuseries Tinseltown Ghost Stories, available now!

Tinseltown Ghost Stories dives into the creepy, mysterious, weird, and downright terrifying stories of the Haunted front offices and backlots of Hollywood. Check it out now on your favorite podcatcher or youtube!
