Justin

Justin Suarez is Betty's fashion-obsessed nephew, still in middle school when we meet him, a kid who knows more about designer labels and old Hollywood musicals than anyone twice his age. He adores his aunt, dotes on his family, and moves through the world with an unguarded enthusiasm that hasn't yet learned to protect itself from judgment.

The show could easily have made Justin a punchline, but it lets his passions be genuine rather than a joke, and Indelicato plays him with a sincerity that never winks at the camera. His storylines about identity unfold with patience and tenderness rather than melodrama, which is rarer than it sounds on television.
