Her breakout role was as Katie Vega on ''Cane'', daughter of the lead character played by Creator/JimmySmits. Esco wrote, directed and starred in ''Free the Nipple'', a film about feminist activists fighting laws which make going topless a crime for women, [[DoubleStandard but not men]].

She is currently playing SWAT officer Chris Alonso on ''Series/SWAT2017'', who struggles to succeed in a male-dominated profession. Her role also explores other issues facing women and LGBT+ people (as Chris is a bisexual woman).

* ''Free the Nipple'' (2014) as With

!Tropes in her work include:
* ActionGirl: Chris on ''S.W.A.T.'' is a consummate example, as a highly trained police officer (she's also the team's sniper, so with a particular specialty).
* ActorSharedBackground: She frequently plays Latina characters, and speaks Spanish in some.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Some of her characters' ethnicities are never mentioned, with no indication whether they're Latina like her or something else.
* BoyishShortHair: Esco has had a pageboy haircut for years, and thus her characters do too, which fits into them often being TheLadette.
* TheLadette: In a number of her roles, she's a tomboy who acts like "just one of the guys" most times, notably as Chris on ''S.W.A.T.''.
* MsFanservice: She hasn't been shy about going topless (with her film ''Free the Nipple'' completely centering on this) or doing sex scenes.
