Slowly making her mark in Hollywood, Vergara stunned on-screen as Sofi in the 2005 film, “Four Brothers.” Sofia plays the girlfriend of Angel Mercer, who stays with her boyfriend at his house.
In the film, she helps the brothers plan and pulls off stunts, and talks to the cops for them.
A True Trendsetter
These days, it’s hard to turn on the TV and get through a single show without seeing her face on some major ad. She’s worked with pretty much every major corporation on the planet And; it’s no wonder they keep asking her to be their spokesmodel.
Executives have found beauty and comedy to make a devastating duo when pitching and selling products. Who doesn’t want to use the same kind of shampoo as Sofia Vergara? That’s what the people at Head and Shoulders thought, too.
Becoming a U.S Citizen
While she may originally be from Colombia, she’s now a citizen of the United States. The actress really knows her stuff when it comes to the U.S – probably more than most natives. During an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," the actress revealed she went through the citizenship process and even scored a 100% on her test, which isn’t very common.
“They give you like a hundred questions you have to learn, and then they give you a quiz, like a test,” she said. She first moved to the country back in the 1990s to pursue her career in modeling and entertainment.
In Big Trouble
Vergara may be most well-known for her sitcom work, but she’s done plenty of films and commercial work as well. Since 2002, she’s appeared in over 20 of them, starting with her role as Nina in 2002’s "Big Trouble."
Some of the other titles she’s done since then include "Soul Plane," "Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns," "Madea Goes to Jail," "The Smurfs," "Machete Kills," "Hot Pursuit," "The Emoji Movie," and, in 2019, "Bottom of the 9th."
Vergara Time
In 2002, Miller Brewing Company signed Vergara on as their spokesperson for a fall ad campaign that revolved around a laid-back time with friends they referred to as “Miller Time.”
The Milwaukee-based brand said that her image was a welcome addition to their own evolution around that time frame. “This is a wonderful opportunity to interact with the Hispanic community,” she said of the experience.
