Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another deep dive into something that’s been bugging me for a while. So, I was watching Star Trek: Discovery, right? Cool show, lots of interesting characters. But there’s this one character, Adira Tal, played by Blu del Barrio, that really got me curious. I mean, who is Blu del Barrio? What’s their deal? And specifically, what’s their birth name? It’s not every day you see a non-binary actor playing a non-binary role on a major show like this.
So, I did what any normal person would do – I started digging. First off, I hit up the usual spots like Wikipedia and some other random sites to see if I could find some basic info about Blu del Barrio. Turns out, Blu was born on September 15, 1997. Pretty young, right? And they’re an American actor, obviously, since they’re on an American show. But the real kicker for me was finding out that Blu is actually the first openly non-binary actor to play a non-binary character on Star Trek. That’s like, history in the making!
Now, about that birth name. This is where things got a little tricky. I had to scroll through a bunch of articles and bios to piece this together. It looks like Blu’s full birth name is Julia Gutierrez del Barrio. Yeah, that’s a mouthful. I found this little tidbit in some random biography online, along with some other facts like they’re about 5’2″ tall. It’s interesting how much detail people dig up on actors, isn’t it?
But here’s the thing that really got me thinking. Blu has been into acting and performing since they were a kid. They even studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. That’s some serious dedication! And they came out as non-binary in 2019. That takes guts, especially when you’re in the public eye.
Anyway, I kept digging, trying to find more about this Adira character too. Turns out, Adira is a 16-year-old member of the United Earth Defense Force, and they’re the first human known to become a “permanent” host to a Trill symbiont. I don’t know about you, but that sounds pretty significant to me. It’s like, this character is breaking all kinds of new ground on the show.
- First thing I did: Searched basic info about Blu del Barrio.
- Then: Dug deeper into their background, found out about their birth name, Julia Gutierrez del Barrio.
- Also: Looked into their acting career and personal life.
- Finally: Learned more about their character Adira on Star Trek: Discovery.
So, there you have it. My little journey into the life and identity of Blu del Barrio. It’s amazing how much you can learn when you just start digging a little. And it’s pretty cool to see how someone like Blu is making waves in the entertainment industry, just by being themselves. It’s a reminder that being true to who you are can actually make a big difference. Makes you think, doesn’t it?
