'How To Get Away With Murder' season 5: Jessica Marie Garcia has 'the blisters to prove' she was on the sets of the Viola Davis show

Jessica Marie Garcia, who brought Rhonda Navvaro to life on 'How to Get Away with Murder', is one of the fresh faces to be introduced in season 5

The ongoing season five of 'How To Get Away With Murder' has been as compelling as the preceding seasons, if not more, thanks in part to the fresh bunch of faces who joined Annalise Keating’s elite group of students at the Legal Clinic. Jessica Marie Garcia, who brought Rhonda Navvaro to life on the show, is one of the noticeable faces, and she made a mark on the crime/thriller show despite appearing only on four episodes this season.

Best known for her roles as Willow on Disney Channel's 'Liv and Maddie' and Jasmine on Netflix's 'On My Block', Garcia reveals that it’s her recurring role on season 2 of 'On My Block' that prevented her from continuing to appear on the Viola Davis show.
