Stephanie Beatriz on why she got over being pigeonholed into bisexual acting roles | Full Interview

What could be gay about a vehicular combat video game that’s now a TV show, you ask? Well, here’s what: In #TwistedMetal, the new Peacock series based on the PlayStation game involving machine guns, ballistic projectiles and a killer clown, we get openly bisexual “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Encanto” actress #StephanieBeatriz, who tells me she’s always bringing her authentic self to her roles. Beatriz’s part in “Twisted Metal” as Quiet, an instinctually driven car thief, is no exception. That clown, meanwhile, isn’t just any clown — this one, clad in a harness, calls other men “puppy,." He'd be very at home in a gay leather bar. If you’re not already hooked by the prospect of a potentially kinky clown and Beatriz as an “absolute badass” bisexual, there is a plot too: “Twisted Metal” takes place in an apocalyptic wasteland where a milkman with amnesia, John Doe (Anthony Mackie), will die if he doesn’t deliver a mysterious package. With Quiet, the duo embarks on a sinister mission through Las Vegas. In our recent interview, Beatriz reflected on Quiet’s sexuality and Sweet Tooth's leather daddy vibes.
