Sofía Vergara Instagram – In the new limited series ‘Griselda,’ Sofia Vergara stars as the legendary Griselda Blanco, capturing the essence of the fascinating, real-life figure who clawed her way up the ranks of Colombian drug trafficking to become Miami’s most feared cartel boss. ‘Griselda’ represents a series of firsts for the actor: It’s Vergara’s first dramatic lead role, her first time executive-producing, and her first acting role in her native Spanish. “It was like a rollercoaster ride for me,” Vergara says. “I had never really acted in Spanish before or done anything that wasn’t comedy. I thought immediately that [Griselda] was a very interesting character. As a Latin woman and someone who sounds like me, there aren’t many projects that are perfect for me. This was a role that I could play because she’s a strong Colombian woman.” More on Vergara and the series at @netflixqueue’s link in bio.
