Bringing Ana Ortiz Into The Dark Animated World Of “Batman: Gotham Knight”
IN DC UNIVERSE ORIGINAL FILM BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHT
As one of the stars of the ABC hit series Ugly Betty, Ana Ortiz has enchanted the primetime audience playing Hilda Suarez, big sister to the title character. Today, Ortiz offers fans a 180-degree acting pivot from her most noteworthy role by voicing gritty detective Anna Ramirez in the DC Universe original animated film Batman: Gotham Knight. The film is available today, July 8, on DVD, Blu-Ray and OnDemand.Ortiz initially auditioned for the same part in The Dark Knight, but lost out to Monique Curnen. Her disappointment didnt last long as casting/dialogue director Andrea Romano took one look at the animated Ramirez and without prior knowledge of her live-action audition immediately sought to cast Ortiz in the voice role.
“An agent submitted Ana many years ago, before Ugly Betty hit the air,” Romano explained. “Ive been looking for something to work with her on, and this project was so unusual that it just seemed right. I was clearly looking at the character, and how she interacts with other characters and when I actually saw the physical character, she was first actress to come to mind.”
Ortiz has had recurring and/or regular primetime roles in Boston Legal, Over There and Kristin, as well as making guest appearances on hit series from NYPD Blue and ER to The New Adventures of Old Christine and Everybody Loves Raymond. However, Batman: Gotham Knight was her first starring role in an animated voiceover. She has since recorded as a tiger for an animated Noahs Ark film.
Ugly Betty production moved to New York last week, and with it went Ortiz back to her hometown. Before making her first visit to the new set in the real-life Gotham, Ortiz took a few moments to discuss her time in the animated Gotham as detective Anna Ramirez in Batman: Gotham Knight.
