Lt. Maria Laguerta

As played by Lauren Velez

Although she may have little love for Debra, she seems to have an endless amount of special attention for Dexter and makes no secret of her sexual interest in him.

Lauren Vélez first appeared in the 1994 feature film I Like It Like That, which centered around a Latino family struggling to stay together amidst the stresses of life, garnering Velez an Independent Spirit Award nomination. She also starred in City Hall opposite Al Pacino and Prince Of The City opposite Danny Aiello and Kathleen Turner. From 1997 - 2003, Vélez starred on Oz, winning an ALMA Award for her role as 'Dr. Gloria Nathan.' However, she is perhaps best known for her role as 'Nina Moreno' on the FOX cop drama New York Undercover. She is also starred in the pilot for Strong Medicine: First Response on Lifetime, and has appeared in NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order, Medium and The Pretender, as well as Numb3ers on CBS.
