Aaron Dominguez isn’t afraid to ugly cry…

The 30-year-old Venezuelan, Puerto Rican and Spanish actor is starring in Ugly Cry, Emily Robinson’s directorial debut.

In addition to Dominguez, who recently appeared on Only Murders in the Building, the film also stars Ryan Simpkins and Robin Turney.

The cast is rounded out with Andrew Leeds, Heather Morris, Chalia La Tour, Ray Abruzzo, Sophie Von Haselberg, Josh Ruben and Melinda McGraw.

Although plot details remain under wraps, Ugly Cry is described as a visceral exploration of beauty standards in the modern era, filtered through the lens of a young actress who has been told she has an “ugly cry.”

Production has been completed on the project, which filmed in Los Angeles.

Carlos Ponce could be returning to English-language television in a hot project at ABC..

The 41-year-old Puerto Rican singer/actor and telenovela star has joined the cast of ABC’s semi-autobiographical comedy project Cristela.

Co-created by rising stand-up comedian Cristela Alonzo, the series centers on Cristela (Alonzo), an American Latina straddling two cultures while not fully belonging to either.

No word yet on Ponce’s character in Cristela, which received a green light last month on what the network described as a “proof of concept” for the project.

In addition to Alonzo and Ponce, the main cast will also include Terri Hoyos, Roxana Ortega and Andrew Leeds. Meanwhile, newcomer Sarah Halford has landed a recurring role in the project.

Ponce’s English-language television credits include Hollywood Heights, Lipstick Jungle and 7th Heaven.
