Miami Living Magazine had the pleasure of sitting down with the accomplished Latin actress, Danielle Larracuente, and her equally charismatic 7-year-old son, Benson Larracuente, who is already a budding actor himself. Known for her roles in the popular Amazon crime drama “Bosch: Legacy" and her recurring role as Mandy Moore's nurse, Laila, on NBC's hit drama "This Is Us," Danielle is a recognized force in the entertainment industry. And making most recent Hollywood headlines, Danielle is set to light up the screen in the new Jennifer Lopez musical "This Is Me Now," premiering February 16, 2024 on Amazon, where she stars as one of JLO’s best friends in the film. However, the acting bug doesn't stop with Danielle; it's a family affair. Her vivacious 7-year-old son, Benson, is also currently making his mark on the Sofia Vergara Netflix series "Griselda". Their story unfolds as a delightful and inspiring blend of family, career, and community involvement.  Join us for an inside look at this talented mother-son duo and their exciting projects contributing to the rich tapestry of Latin representation. Miami Living (ML): Hey Danielle and Benson!  Thank you for chatting with us today!  Since it is clear that the acting bug runs strong in your family, do you ever find yourselves spontaneously breaking into character or reenacting scenes from your respective shows and movies just for laughs? Any favorite impromptu performances that stand out? Danielle: Omg! Yes, Benny loves to reenact scenes all time! One that stands out to me is he really loved the tooth fairy for a while. He thought she was so cool how she flew in, dropped gifts and left. So, we pretended I was waiting for the tooth fairy and then I woke up and checked to see if she left anything but didn’t. He then decided to break the 4th wall, walk in front of the frame, drink water, spit it out and to the camera said “what!!!” I was dying laughing! ML: Benson, congratulations on landing a role on Sofia Vergara’s Netflix series “Griselda”!  That’s amazing!  Is this your first acting gig?  And what have you liked most about it so far? Benson: Yes! This my first breakout tv role! I loved learning on set all about sound and watching the director call “action!” ML: Danielle, from a stint on Broadway at only 9 years old, to performing on “Saturday Night Live”, to now returning to your role as Paulina Calderon in “Bosch: Legacy", you've had a diverse career to say the least. What is a standout moment for you in your career? Danielle: I feel like all of those are milestones and have stood out for me during those times. SNL was with Jimmy Fallon, so I was so star struck. With The Lion King I got to live out my favorite Disney movie and sing and dance. Lastly, with Bosch, as my parents are retired NYPD officers, I got to play them. Which was such an honor. ML: Benson, besides being a star on the soccer field and working on your skills as a martial artist, we’ve heard you are also a major fan of the virtual world.  What's a favorite game you’ve played lately and what do you love about it? And Danielle, any chance you've joined in on the gaming fun with him? Benson: ROLBLOX is LIFE At the moment! I love how I can create my character and buy special skills to make the game easier. I also love playing with my friends. Danielle: I have definitely joined in on the fun with Benny, I had to see what all the hype was about. ML: Danielle, how have you juggled being so incredibly prolific in your acting career while also managing to raise your son Benson on your own?  And when did he start showing signs of wanting to give acting a go himself? Danielle: I have such an amazing support system and village who help me so much. From my family to friends and even coworkers in the industry. I feel that’s the biggest tool that I have, and it is so crucial to have when you are in this industry and have kids. I started Benson when he was two years old. He booked his first print job for Munchkin. He always was so photogenic and loved the camera, so I thought to myself - let’s give this a go. Maybe he is following in my footsteps! ML: Benson, we hear you're quite the animal lover. Can you tell us a little about your pets, especially Goldie the fair-winning fish, and how they form a part of your daily life? Benson: I have two dogs. One is a BIG HUGE baby German Shepard/Husky mix named Nemo! Can you believe he is as big as a horse, and he is only 1 year old! I also have a small grey doggy named Buster. He is 9 years old. Buster sometimes gets tired of Nemo lol. Goldie my fish is my favorite because I won it. My mommy wasted all her tickets on trying to win her. I kept asking her to let me try but she thought it was a hard game. She finally let me on the last ticket, and I won on the first try! My mommy’s mouth was on the floor! Haha! ML: Danielle, you've expressed a commitment to bringing a rising presence in TV & Film for the Latino community. What are your aspirations for the future, both in terms of your career and the impact you hope to make on the industry? Danielle: Yes, that is very important to me. In terms of my career, I am focusing on trying to give myself the most diversity of roles possible and reach bigger roles and bigger audiences. I want it to be the norm that a Latino can play everything from a lawyer to a lead in a rom-com to a period piece. I am aiming to open the door more for that, and my hope for the industry is that I leave the industry more inclusive and easier to work for the Latinos coming after me. ML: Finally, any family or professional projects on the horizon with the two of you in collaboration? Danielle: Ahh! That would be a dream! We cannot wait to act in a project together. I want to put that into a manifestation. So yes, in the near future we will be acting in a project together. Keep an eye out! Social Media: Instagram | IMDB By ML Staff.

Ode to Joy! In a milestone musical event, South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO), led by Sebrina María Alfonso, will pay passionate homage to Beethoven, one of classical music’s most revered composers, with a 200th anniversary celebration of his monumental choral masterpiece, Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125! One hundred voices from South Florida Symphony Chorus, directed by Dr. Giselle Elgarresta Rios, featuring talented singers from Barry University, Our Lady of Lourdes Academy, the Gay Men's Chorus of South Florida, and the community, will add to the revelry. Soloists Elizabeth Caballero (soprano), Rebecca Ringle Kamarei (mezzo-soprano), Adam Diegel (tenor), and Luis Ledesma (baritone) will also perform a selection of grand opera arias. The performance takes place at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 3, at Broward Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA) in Fort Lauderdale. A pre-concert chat illuminating the works and composers will take place 30 minutes prior to the concert with Dr. Alan Mason. “When Beethoven added vocals to what would be his final symphony, he unwittingly changed the course of classical music forever and, in the process, created what is often cited as the greatest piece of music ever written,” said Maestra Alfonso. “Today, his magnificent Ninth continues to captivate audiences worldwide and has come to define our understanding of symphonic music as grand, opulent, powerful works of art.” Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 premiered in 1824, Vienna, to an enthusiastic audience. During its composition, Beethoven was steadily losing his hearing and by the time of its premiere, he was profoundly deaf. He never heard a note outside his own imagination. Various accounts maintain that he had to be directed to face the audience during the performance to see its appreciation. Alfonso added, “The sheer emotional power that courses throughout Symphony No. 9 can elicit uncharted feelings, creating a sense of wonder and awe in listeners and I look forward to our audience experiencing this profound connection. The momentous ‘Ode to Joy’ finale, which will be performed by a chorus of 100, is a testament to the resilience of our shared humanity when we stand united. What a thrill it will be for SFSO to commemorate 200 years of this extraordinary masterpiece with our audiences!” Complementing these milestone performances will be a selection of moving operatic arias from Bizet’s Carmen, Verdi’s Rigoletto, Puccini’s Turandot and Tosca, and Delibes’ Lakmé. This musical celebration hits its crescendo on the evening of SFSO’s “Ode to Joy” annual gala, the organization’s largest fundraising event of the year, honoring local arts and culture advocates who champion musical creativity and innovation with “Sound of Success” awards. The separately ticketed gala includes champagne and hors d’oeuvres, dinner, a choice of premium seats add-ons for the concert, and a post-performance dessert reception. Tickets for the gala start at $350 and are available to purchase at https://bit.ly/OdeToJoyGala. Following its highly acclaimed 25th anniversary season, including sold-out shows and a celebrated performance accompanying award-winning alt-rock indie vocalist Natalie Merchant, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its musical journey of excellence inspiring audiences of all ages. Upcoming concerts include masterworks from Bernstein, Schubert, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky and more, including another SFSO premiere, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich’s Clarinet Concerto. Additional popular music performances including Maestra Alfonso conducting SFSO in a live performance of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone ™ In Concert on April 5 and 6 and Classical Mystery Tour: A Symphonic Tribute to The Beatles on May 11, both at Broward Center for the Performing Arts (separately ticketed events). Single tickets for this program begin at $25 in Fort Lauderdale and flexible ticket packages are on sale now.

Fall in love with Marry Me Chicken, a dish of tender sautéed chicken in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. Marry Me Chicken is a dish of tender sautéed chicken in a rich and creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. The recipe gained popularity after going viral on TikTok, where many users shared the recipe and claimed it will win over the heart of anyone you cook it for. Using ready-to-cook thinly sliced chicken breasts, my version of Marry Me Chicken is quick and easy to make in just 30 minutes, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner or special occasion. While I can’t guarantee it’ll make someone profess their undying love to you, the balance of flavors in the dish does make it hard to resist! Serve the saucy chicken with pasta or rice and a roasted vegetable. If you’d like to add some extra greens, simply toss a few handfuls of baby spinach into the sauce before adding the chicken back to the pan. WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE MARRY ME CHICKEN I use pre-cut, ready-to-cook, thin-sliced chicken breasts for this recipe. If you’d like to use regular chicken breasts, you’ll need to first cut them in half horizontally to form flat fillets, then pound them until they are between ⅛ and ¼-inch thick. (It’s important to cut them in half first; otherwise they’ll be enormous after pounding.) STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS Place the flour, ¾ teaspoon salt, and the black pepper in a ziplock bag and shake to combine. Add the chicken to the bag; seal the bag tightly and shake to coat the chicken evenly. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the flour-dusted chicken in the pan, shaking off any excess first. Cook, flipping once, until the chicken is lightly golden and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds more; do not brown. Add the cream, broth, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, red pepper flakes, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt; use a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the pan into the liquid. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and gently boil, uncovered, until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Parmigiano Reggiano (or Pecorino Romano) and basil. Add the chicken back to the pan, along with any juices that accumulated on the plate; reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chicken is warmed through and the sauce thickens a bit more, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with more fresh basil, if desired, and serve. Marry Me Chicken By Jennifer Segal Fall in love with Marry Me Chicken, a dish of tender sautéed chicken in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce.
