It was her exotic, raven-haired beauty that initially brought her fame, but actress Roselyn Sanchez went from modeling to striking a different type of pose - effectively landing roles as tough-minded law enforcement figures with gun in hand. Coveting the part of butt-kicking customs agent Isabella Molina in "Rush Hour 2" (2001) and reprised for "Rush Hour 3" (2007) - as well as her series regular role of Agent Elena Delgado on the popular hit series, "Without a Trace" (CBS, 2002-09) - Sanchez knew something about toughness, having started fresh in the U.S. after leaving behind early success in her native Puerto Rico.

Getting a small taste of Hollywood, Sanchez landed a bit part in the Touchstone Pictures comedy, "Captain Ron" (1992) when production hit San Juan, before hitting the beauty pageant circuit. She was crowned Ms. Puerto Rico Petite in 1993 and, a year later, went on to become Miss America Petite.

In 1994, a then 21-year-old Sanchez moved to New York City, looking to study acting, dance and singing. Unfortunately, she knew very little English. She immediately took acting classes to help herself cross the language barrier and also began picking up the language through American television.
