It was a big week for the Chicago-based comedy duo Dominizuelan. On Tuesday night, Lorena Diaz kicked off a recurring role on NBC’s prime time drama Chicago Med. And on Wednesday, Wendy Mateo appeared on a sister series, Chicago PD, as a crime-scene investigator. The roles are a bit of a departure for two comediennes known for their hilarious improv and skits like “Ms. Latina Stereotype Explains Hollywood.” The two members of Dominizuelan share their visions for expanded diversity on television.
