Last Resort – Acting, Getting the Call From La La Land and Alien: Covenant Cast Callie Hernandez started her career in acting at the age of 25. Source: Instagram In an interview with Soma, Callie said she was terrified to take up acting because it was the scariest of all the options she tried before and the one with the least chance of success was kept as a last resort, something of a “break glass in case of emergency” situation. Well, when all else failed, and the last arrow in the quiver, ready to go, she packed her belongings and started on a journey to the city of angels. It was a “pivotal moment” in her life and career, and in hindsight, the decision was a sound one, though it would’ve looked chaotic at the time. The first role of her career was in the movie Machete Kills, followed by the first two episodes of the series From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For was another minor step towards stardom for the actress, but the real thing began when she sent a tape of hers to the casting people of La La Land.
