Xolo Maridueña

Xolo Maridueña (also credited as Xolo Mariduena and known in Chinese as 索洛·馬里達那) is an American screen actor born June 9, 2001, in Los Angeles, California. Raised in a city built on entertainment, he gravitated early toward performance and storytelling.

His connection to the industry started almost immediately—just days after he was born, he was already around a working radio studio, absorbing the rhythm of production from behind the scenes. Growing up with close-up exposure to artists at work helped shape his ambition to step in front of the camera and carve out his own path.

Maridueña’s credits span indie projects and major studio franchises. He appeared in Dealin' with Idiots as Manny and took on roles in titles like #Whitina (Chris), Dog Years (Alejandro), and Killing Castro. He also brings voice work to animation, including Smurfs as Brainy Smurf.

In blockbuster territory, he headlines Blue Beetle as Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle, cementing his profile as a new-generation leading man. Upcoming and associated projects include Practical Magic 2 and Code 3, where he is credited as Rookie.
