When I think of a crime boss I think of an intimidating, deadly, ruthless person — not Sofia Vergara who is best known for her light-hearted and sassy role as Gloria Pritchet in the comedy “Modern Family.” So when I found out she was cast to play Miami crime lord Griselda Blanco in the thrilling Netflix series “Griselda” I was a little skeptical
Before even pressing play, I pictured the show butchering Griselda’s image with cheesy feminism, corny jokes and watered-down murder scenes. However, less than three minutes into the pilot episode my preconceived notions were proven wrong.
Vergara completely transformed and embodied the role of Griselda — she was unrecognizable. I didn’t even see Vergara, all I could see was the Griselda Blanco, the Cocaine Godmother, one of the most notorious drug traffickers ever.
