"One couldn't resist being drawn to Mercedes De La Cruz, especially when she first embarked on her career as a ballet dancer, showcasing her well-toned physique. With her captivating beauty, raven hair, and alluring bedroom eyes, it's understandable that she transitioned into modeling. She adorned the cover of ALEPH Magazine and became the face of Molson Canadian. After debuting on screen as 'Miss Hawaiian Tropic' in the 2004 action film Halo, Mercedes went on to make guest appearances on TV series like Bates Motel (2016), iZombie (2017), and The Flash (2018). However, her most memorable role was in the 2019 crime comedy Get Shorty, where she shared the screen with Ray Romano and Chris O'Dowd. Mercedes' nude scene, featuring her bouncing breasts during wild sex, is a standout moment that caught Mr. Skin's attention. Unfortunately for viewers, her lover injured himself mid-act, but her stunning naked form left audiences wanting more. Since then, Mercedes has appeared in short films like My Grandma and A Gathering, TV movies such as Lonestar Christmas and Right in Front of Me, and a miniseries titled Maid. In 2021, she was inducted into the Television Academy as a voting member for the Emmy Awards."
