Sofia Pernas Career
Pernas is best known for her recurring parts on “The Young and the Restless” (CBS, 1973–) and “Jane the Virgin” (The CW, 2014–). She did a lot of traveling when she was young and chose to become a journalist because it would let her travel the world and learn about different kinds of people and cultures at the same time.
Her plans changed, though, when a modeling agent found Pernas by accident. Because she liked taking risks, she signed with the agent and started working right away as a model, which led to acting jobs. Pernas discovered right away that she loved acting and chose to stop wanting to be a journalist, even though her parents didn’t agree. Right away, she got parts in two movies, “Age of the Dragons” (2011) and “Underground” (2011).
This was a great start to her professional playing career. Pernas then had parts in “Indigenous” (2014) and “Operation Rogue” (2014), which made her even more well-known as a young actor on the rise.
