HOST BIOS:

Marisa Ramirez
Marisa stars as Det. Maria Baez, Danny Reagan’s (Donnie Wahlberg) partner in the CBS cop drama Blue Bloods, the prolific actor’s fifth lead or series regular role on a primetime series. Marissa played Officer Riley Dunn on ABC’s Body of Proof; Evelyn Santos on ABC’s critically acclaimed but short-lived series Miracles (opposite Skeet Ulrich); and Dr. Chloe Artis on the FOX 2009 summer series Mental.

Daytime fans know her well from CBS’ The Young and the Restless (Carmen Mesta) and of course, for her award-winning breakthrough role as Gia Campbell on ABC’s General Hospital. When not on the set, Ramirez lends her time and talent to causes important to her including HIV/AIDS, homelessness and animal rescue. She is also an avid kick boxer, which helps keep her so fit. Born in Los Angeles, Ramirez began her career as a model-turned MTV host. She lives in New York.

Earlier this year, Brian was seen in Lifetime’s With This Ring opposite Jill Scott, Regina King and Eve. He executive produced and starred in the romantic comedy My Favorite Five opposite Rochelle Aytes, and he produced and starred in the feature, And Then There Was You, opposite Garcelle Beauvis and Lynn Whitfield. He starred in CBS’ Hostages opposite Dylan McDermott and Toni Collette; in the independent feature, Walter, with Neve Campbell, Peter Facinelli, Virginia Madsen and William H. Macy; in CW’s Beauty and the Beast opposite Kristen Kreuk; and in Tyler Perry’s romantic drama, Good Deeds.
