Sofia Vergara’s post “Modern Family” life
It has been a rollercoaster for Vergara since the show ended. Although she divorced her husband and he was awarded their dog custody, professionally, her Modern Family“ life hasn’t been a challenge since she is coming back to television.
The Colombian actress is starring in “Griselda,” one of the most awaited Netflix series. The first teaser has been released, showing some of what viewers can expect in the intense drama made by the creators of “Narcos.”
In contrast to her usual comedic work, the series marks a departure for Vergara. She transformed with the help of prosthetics for the role, taking on a very different appearance than her usual self. This provides an excellent opportunity to showcase her dramatic acting skills.
“She’s so good in it and it’s something that she’s been carrying around,” said series co-creator Eric Newman of Vergara’s work to The Hollywood Reporter. “To go back to your question about what appeals to me, or what the throughline is, it’s that kind of passion. There’s always someone in the equation — and I’ve been the person and I’ve also facilitated for the person — and here it was Sofia who was like, ‘I want to do this. I don’t know that I can do this but I want to try.’ And I knew she could.”
