The Moment When Jessica Camacho Realized She'd Arrived As An Actor
James Rogers
Looking back at her career as a working actor, Jessica Camacho is filled with gratitude for the journey she's been on. "I mean, there's so many different experiences for so many reasons, and it honestly ... In every project that I've ever been fortunate enough to work on, there have been memorable moments, and I always feel very fortunate to be doing what I get to do, to be living my dream," she told us. "It's never lost on me how magical that is, and how much I treasure that, how grateful I am."
However, Camacho singled out one project as the most meaningful to her personally: the 2012-2013 TV series "Last Resort" (via IMDb). "I played a character named Pilar Cortez, and we shot in Hawaii," Camacho recalled. "It was set aboard a submarine. We were Navy crew members, and we had gone rogue on this island. It was really cool. I was working with Andre Braugher. I mean, he's just fantastic, and I learned so much from him. He's such a grounded, amazing actor with such a huge body of work, and [it was incredible] to be in a scene with him and to be learning from him."
