God forbid if there was ever a nuclear Armageddon that wiped out the population on Earth and there were only a few survivors. But if that ever should happen, then you'd want CW's "The 100" Raven Reyes (Lindsey Morgan) by your side.

Actress Lindsey Morgan, who is of Mexican, Spanish and Irish descent, is a series regular of the CW's hit post-apocalyptic drama series, "The 100." Created by Jason Rothenberg and based on a book by Kass Morgan, "The 100" is set 97 years after a nuclear Armageddon wiped out the population on Earth and left the planet uninhabitable. The remaining 400 survivors were in space at the time the nukes went off, living among a dozen space stations that were brought together to create an Ark where humanity went on to live for three generations."

Morgan plays Raven Reyes, "a strong-willed young mechanical engineer, who is not afraid to break the rules when necessary," and the actress couldn't be more thrilled to take on the role.

"She's a guy's girl, very intelligent, fierce and tough," Morgan told Latin Post in an exclusive interview. "She is a huge asset because of her intelligence... I see Raven helping girls become interested in science, engineering, and mechanics.  She makes it look cool."

Morgan points out that while the CW targets a younger audience, the network has changed its material to "a higher quality" where it deals with "more serious issues of morale and ethics as opposed to the love triangle."

"They aren't treating the audience as dummies," she explained. Instead, "they are creating material that makes them think and be entertained."

Morgan also landed the lead as Ariana Vita, opposite Jean Luc Bilodeau ("Baby Daddy") in the upcoming television movie, "Casa Vita" on Pixl.

Ariana Vita is an intelligent, gorgeous and hard-working Latina with a passion for food who is eager to institute changes at the family restaurant. She butts heads with her "stubborn, unwilling-to-change father."

"It's a family story. It gives a great message that families have their differences, but they come together in a time of crisis," she said. "It's completely different than 'The 100,' but I wanted to try something I haven't done before." 

"Casa Vita" follows a young man living on an Iowan farm, who is determined to pursue his dream of becoming a professional baseball player and becomes elated when he is invited to a major league tryout camp in Los Angeles. It's not long before he meets an equally impassioned young woman (Morgan) with a desire to pursue her dream of having her own restaurant. However, it's not always a bad thing when dreams take a bit of a detour, especially when sparks begin to fly between the two.

Born in Georgia and raised in Houston, Texas, bicultural beauty Morgan began her acting career during her first year at The University of Texas, booking guest roles on critically acclaimed television series such as "My Generation" and "Friday Night Lights."

Morgan made her big screen debut as the mean cheerleader "Alexis Spencer" alongside Josh Hutcherson, Dane Cook, and Shanley Caswell in Sony Pictures' horror-comedy "DETENTION," directed by Joseph Kahn. She later landed the lead role of "Maria" in the MTV original movie "DisCONNECTED."

"I mean it's great because it all worked out, but it was a gamble," she laughed.

On being cast in Hollywood, Morgan said she is "either not Latina enough, or not white enough ... not Caucasian enough, or too Latina."

"Everybody would be like 'who is she, what is she?'" Morgan explained. "They want to throw you in a box, but that's not reality. That's why we need complex, multi-faceted roles. ... Let's get ahead of the curve."

While she faced being pigeonholed, Morgan who is half-Latina and half-Caucasian, draws inspiration from other Latinas who have opened the doors for other bicultural women and Latinas, such as Sofia Vergara for her humor, Penelope Cruz and Selma Hayek's for their dramatic roles and Jessica Alba for taking on a variety of roles.

She also recognizes what it means to be a positive example for other young and aspiring actresses her in the U.S. and abroad.

"I didn't realize the impact of my job and what it could do ... on an international scale, our show is shown around the world," she said.
