Summary
- Laysla De Oliveira starred as Cruz Manuelos in "Lioness".
- Five years prior, she had a small role in Marvel's "The Gifted".

Fans of "Lioness" recognize Laysla De Oliveira for her powerful portrayal of CIA special forces operator Cruz Manuelos. However, her acting career began with smaller roles, including a notable appearance in Marvel's "The Gifted" five years earlier.
In "The Gifted," which aired between 2018 and 2019, De Oliveira took on the role of Glow. This character was a kindhearted mutant capable of generating and controlling orbs of light. After being rescued from a mental hospital, Glow joined the Morlocks, an underground mutant community.
Although Glow was featured in only three episodes, her distinctive powers and developing relationship with Eclipse captured audience attention. This role marked De Oliveira's first recurring television appearance. Despite a dedicated fanbase drawn from its Marvel Comics origins, "The Gifted" did not achieve widespread mainstream success, leading to its cancellation by Fox after its second season.
