DEVIOUS MAIDS' Ana Ortiz to Guest Star on BLACK-ISH

An UGLY BETTY alum is heading back to ABC.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ana Ortiz, currently starring on Lifetime's DEVIOUS MAIDS, has booked a guest starring role on ABC's freshman comedy BLACK-ISH.

Ortiz, set to appear on the series' 11th episode, will play "Angelica Rodriguez, one of Dre's (Anderson) co-workers who becomes an adversary at their company's office Christmas party."

ABC's new family comedy, "black-ish," takes a fun yet bold look at one man's determination to establish a sense of cultural identity for his family. The series stars Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross and special guest star Laurence Fishburne.

Dre considers himself the family patriarch and when he looks at his life - he sees a beautiful wife and four kids living happily in their colonial home in the 'burbs. But when he looks a little closer -- have the trappings of success brought too much assimilation for this black family? The world he sees has a much different lens than the one he would like his family to look through.

The series also stars Tracee Ellis Ross as Rainbow Johnson, Yara Shahidi as Zoey Johnson, Marcus Scribner as Andre Johnson, Jr., Miles Brown as Jack Johnson, Marsai Martin as Diane Johnson and special guest star, Laurence Fishburne.

"black-ish" was created by Kenya Barris and is executive-produced by Barris, Larry Wilmore, Anthony Anderson, Laurence Fishburne, Helen Sugland and E. Brian Dobbins. The series is produced by ABC Studios.
