Forget Carmen Sandiego. Where in the world is Adria Arjona?
On any given day, the Puerto Rican actress might be traveling. “Frequent flyer miles are off the chart. If you ever need a flight, I got you,” she says, laughing.

After breakthrough roles in “Hit Man” and “Blink Twice," this year Arjona appeared in the Emmy-nominated Season 2 of the “Star Wars” show “Andor” and stars in (and executive produces) the unconventional screwball comedy “Splitsville” (in select theaters now, nationwide Sept. 5).
