Sophia Hammons

Known for playing characters who are adventurous, determined, and wise beyond their years, Sophia made her feature debut in the Netflix docudrama The Social Dilemma, playing the phone-obsessed girl Isla alongside Skyler Gisondo and Kara Hayward. The film premiered at Sundance and was nominated for seven Emmy Awards. Sophia will appear next as the sweet but tough Amy Winston in the Disney Channel/Disney+ comedy Under Wraps and as the soft-spoken but strong-willed Alma in the romantic drama Keyhole Garden, with Zoe Saldana, Garrett Hedlund, and Tom Waits. Sophia was born in South Pasadena, California and moved to Boulder, Colorado at the age of six. She began performing in musical theater, appearing in the ensembles in Les Miserables and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and as Amaryllis in The Music Man, Tessie in Annie, and Nancy in Christmas Story. At age 10, Sophia began focusing on acting for film and TV, training with Su Coffey in Denver and Saxon Trainor in LA and appearing in numerous short films before making the leap to features. Reconnecting with her background in musical theater, she recently performed as Ariel in the Disney Channel/Disney+ special Disney Princess Remixed, in which she sings and dances to an upbeat contemporary version of the classic song "Part of Your World." Sophia is adventurous in real life too. She travels widely and stays connected to her Asian Pacific roots. She has a dog named Larry, plays the guitar, writes and sings songs, dabbles in screenwriting, and hopes one day to write and direct as well as act. She is represented by Amsel, Eisenstadt, Frazier & Hinojosa Talent Agency, The ESI Network, and PV Public Relations.
