Sophia wasn't always into acting. In fact, she was very academic in school. She was accepted into Cambridge, even though she never went. She took drama in school at 16, because of the handsome teacher. (That's the way to do it! Something I'd totally get on board with.) She just fell in love with acting and was offered a job after a performance in one the plays; She took it.
She came to America from the United Kingdom at age 21 with only 200 dollars in her pocket. She says, "L.A. is fabulous if you are employed." She almost gave up, ready to pack her bags. Thankfully, she auditioned for Moonlight instead and booked the part. She knew she had finally made it when she saw her name on the parking spot Warner Brothers gave her.
ophia is a very sweet girl; she actually came in on her day off for this interview. Make sure to catch Moonlight on April 25th, because, trust me, I know some set secrets, and it's going to rock!
