The actor says she also hopes to keep following the lessons set forth by her "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" co-star Andre Braugher, who died in 2023.

There has always been a softness in the characters that Stephanie Beatriz has portrayed. From the sharp-tongued Rosa Diaz in "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" to quirky Mirabel in "Encanto," it's Beatriz's natural ability to add empathy and humanity to her characters that makes her performances so believable. She's done it once more in her latest role as a no-nonsense retirement home director in Netflix's "A Man on the Inside," which premiered all eight episodes Thursday.
