On the big screen, she is set to produce and lend her voice to the animated comedy Koati, which follows three unlikely heroes — Nachi, a free-spirited coatí; Xochi, a fearless monarch butterfly; and Pako, a hyperactive glass frog — as they embark on an adventure to stop wicked coral snake Zaina (Vergara) from destroying their rainforest homeland and friends. Produced simultaneously in English and Spanish, the film is slated for release later this year.

Other box office sensations include Meet The Browns, Madea Goes to Jail, and Hot Pursuity, on which Vergara also served as a producer.

On stage, Vergara earned rave reviews for her Broadway debut as ‘Mama Morton’ in the 2009 production of CHICAGO.

In the Hispanic market, her past television credits include Fuera De Serie, a special guest appearance on Univision’s soap opera, Fuego En La Sangre, as well as the Spanish version of Desperate Housewives, for which she served as an executive producer.

Along with the recognition she has earned in her acting career, Vergara is a successful entrepreneur and global businesswoman. Her ability to capture the attention of consumers from a wide range of demographics has allowed her to explore an expansive array of projects, including apparel lines, furniture collections, and fragrances.

In 2019, Vergara launched Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara, an exclusive denim line on WALMART.com. The initial collection featured nearly 100 items, ranging from jeans and denim jackets to fashion tops and graphic tees. The size-inclusive collection encourages women to work with what they’ve got.

In response to the devastating global pandemic, Vergara established the Global COVID-19 Response Fund with Kiva, the world’s first personal micro-lending website. Originally set out to raise $50M, together they surpassed their goal and have already raised over $60M, providing direct and efficient funds to marginalized populations across the world, including minorities, women and those in isolated areas impacted by COVID-19.

In addition to her success as an actress and entrepreneur, Vergara is also a committed philanthropist. Vergara works closely with St Jude Children’s Research Hospital and has participated in the “Thanks and Giving” campaign, as well as hosted a private reception for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to raise awareness and support for its lifesaving mission: Finding cures. Saving children.

In 1995, Vergara founded Latin World Entertainment with her business partner, Luis Balaguer. Since its origination, Latin World Entertainment has become a multi-service company offering a 360-degree approach and is the premier Hispanic talent management and entertainment-marketing firm in the US. The company represents the biggest stars, opinion-makers and trendsetters in the Spanish-speaking entertainment world and leverages that star power to take brands and products directly into the burgeoning Hispanic market.
