‘Baby reindeer’: the Mexican trans actress everyone is talking about for the role of Teri

The series “Baby Reindeer” (in English: “Baby Reindeer”) is one of the big surprises in the Netflix catalog, as it has already been placed in first place as the most popular on the platform and is a recurring topic on social networks.

The production has been acclaimed by critics for its creative proposal and narrative tone, avoiding falling into the clichés of other similar stories.

The story follows a struggling comedian who shows a little kindness to a vulnerable woman, little imagining that it will unleash a morbid obsession that threatens to destroy both their lives.

The series was created by Richard Gadd, who tells his true story in seven episodes, in which a seemingly innocent encounter sparks a nightmare of harassment and obsession.

Who is Nava Mau, the Mexican actress who plays Terri in ‘Baby Reindeer’?

It was recently announced that one of the main cast members, Nava Mau, is a Mexican actress, which made many media outlets recognize her as a source of pride in Mexico for her excellent work portraying Teri, the transgender partner of Donny (Richard Gadd ).

Nava Mau has already left an indelible mark on the screen with his soulful performance. Her character is central to the protagonist, who falls hopelessly in love with her.

Originally from Mexico and raised in the United States, Nava has proven to be a creative force, bringing authenticity and depth to the character she portrays.

Nava Mau, 31, is an award-winning actress, director and cultural activist born in Mexico City and raised in San Antonio, Texas. With previous roles in critically acclaimed productions such as ‘Waking Hour’, ‘Disclosure’ and ‘Genera+ion’, Nava brings her experience and skills to ‘Bebé Reno’. In addition, he has participated in programs such as “Disclosure” and “Despertar” and has become a staunch defender of LGBTQ+ rights, anti-violence and political education, participating in numerous virtual events on these issues.

In the series “Baby Reindeer”, Nava Mau is a therapist and meets the comedian through a dating app. However, their relationship is affected by the constant harassment of another character: Martha, and the doubts the protagonist has about his sexuality.

The story is inspired by the real-life experiences of Scottish writer, actor and comedian Richard Gadd, who was harassed for three years by a woman he met in a London pub in 2015. He plays his own story.

Reading the script a few years ago, Nava assures that she identified with Teri’s character and with each of the characters, highlighting the transcendent honesty that Richard Gadd’s writing invites us to embrace.
