In the latest crossover between 'The Envelope' and 'The Times,' the Emmy nominee explains her trepidation about starring in the groundbreaking drama.

, “Pose,” which explores the lives of New York’s ball culture during the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. For three seasons, Rodriguez has brought heart to her performance as Blanca, the nurturing mother of the House of Evangelista determined to not let society’s hang-ups keep her from a fulfilling life.Rodriguez’s performance in the final season, which found Blanca finding love and pursuing a career in nursing, earned her an Emmy nomination for lead actress in a drama series.

It’s the sort of windfall Rodriguez always hoped for in her career. But she admits, in those early days, she feared “Pose’s” promise held a different fate.“I was scared because at the time when all of this was happening with auditions, there were still dreadful things that were happening to trans individuals across the globe — murders and just a lot of discrimination that was happening against us,” Rodriguez said.

She continued: “I was fooled completely ... the love that I got from the people has wowed me... I’m so thankful I was fooled because if it did go the other way, I don’t know how I would have mentally dealt with that.”
