Desiree Casado (born August 18, 1985) is an actress most notable for her role of Gabriella Rodriguez on Sesame Street. Playing the role since 1993, taking over from a previous actress when the character was SORASed, Gabi is the daughter of Luis and Maria. Her character has become a more integral part of the show's cast in the last couple of years, perhaps mostly to fulfill Sesame Workshop's need to sustain youth among the cast, as the old guard of the show ages.
In addition to her role as Gabi, Casado appeared in various television commercials. Her film credits include I Like It Like That (1994), Bed of Roses (1996), Joe's Apartment (1996), Wishful Thinking (1997) and Gloria (1999). Recently she acted in her first starring role, in the independent film Juicy (2004). According to the official Sesame Street cast bio, Casado loves to dance, especially Hip Hop, and is taking ballet lessons.
