There's something going around about Monica May lying about being Hispanic to get the role of Elizabeth "Z" Delgado. She actually didn't lie. On the S.P.D. Ranger Tales feature on the special features disc from the seasons 13-17 set, Greg Aronowitz talks about how they wanted a Hispanic ranger, and they chose her thinking that she had the look and the sound. It sounds like Greg just later on had a discussion with her about her character representing Latinas after having shot four or five episodes, and she felt the need to state that she's actually not Hispanic.
