Chance Perdomo was an American and British actor. He is known for his roles on the shows Hetty Feather, Killed by My Debt, Midsomer Murders, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and Gen V, in the film sequels After We Fell, After Ever Happy, and After Everything, and on the podcast series The Cipher.
Chance was born in Los Angeles, and raised mostly in Hampshire, England, U.K., with his mother. He had dual citizenship. His mother, who was raised in Guatemala, is of Dominican Republic and Guatemalan descent.
He had stated that he was a “black child raised by a Latino mother in a white society with two nationalities.”
Chance’s maternal grandfather was Joaquin Anibal Virgilio Perdomo Roldan (the son of Joaquin Eugenio Perdomo Ramírez and Ramona Yolanda Evangelina Roldan Boz). Chance’s grandfather Joaquin was born in La Romana, Dominican Republic. Chance’s great-grandfather Joaquin was the son of Manuel Virgilio Perdomo and Elia Isabel Ramirez. Ramona was the daughter of Francisco Anibal Roldan Trinidad and Ramona Hortensia Boz Bonostro.
Chance’s maternal grandmother was the granddaughter of a man surnamed Betancourt, and of Cayetana Cuevas.

She was raised in Guatemala, and I believe she’s Guatemalan on her maternal side.

Haven’t traced her ancestry yet though, but the surname Perdomo in North Carolina seems to come from Honduras in many cases.
Apparently his mother is Guatemalan.

That’s from an older version of the Wikipedia article.
What is that
It’s certainly an unusual way to describe someone from my experience. In the U.S., the most up-to-date self-identifier for the descendants of Spanish-speakers who are of predominantly African ancestry is “Afro-Latino/Latina.”
