Sofia Vergara and her son, Manolo, hold a very tight bond due to their abrupt beginnings. Between Sofia being a teenage mom and the two moving to a new country when Manolo was very young, they knew they needed to hold on to one another. The dynamic duo that they are, they have spent their lives working hard to excel in every way possible. Not only have they built a new life for themselves from the ground up, but Manolo has also gone on to get his college degree while working towards his own show business career.

With everything they have already done together, what's next for the mother and son? While Sofia has spent years in front of the camera, her son is newer to that aspect of the industry. As Manolo continues to find his niche in entertainment, he and his mother hope to embark on a joint venture someday that revolves around one of their favorite pastimes. This article will discuss Manolo and Sofia's new joint project, Manolo's history in Hollywood, and what else Manolo is up to in acting.

The world knows Sofia Vergara for her role as Ed O'Neill's wife on Modern Family (though the collaboration with Ed wasn't what Sofia expected). On that top-rated show, Sofia played Gloria for the entire duration of the series. While she is familiar to many in that area, what many don't know is that one of the actress' favorite activities is cooking alongside her one and only child, Manolo, in the kitchen. The two enjoy this so much that some have suggested they partner together on a project that includes this pastime.

When looking at the big picture, what better way is there when it comes to building Manolo's career in Hollywood than doing something you love with the person that you love? The Vergara duo has already done a small film cooking project with Walmart that highlighted their culinary talents. Why not expand further?

It's likely that fans of Sofia Vergara would routinely tune in to a cooking show, YouTube series, or even a podcast highlighting her and Manolo's talents in the kitchen. Whether it's one or all of those avenues, seeing a different side of the actress in her role as a mother would give her a more relatable edge with her long-standing audience.

Those opportunities will also allow Manolo to spread his directing and acting skills out more broadly and make him more recognizable in the industry.

While Manolo was born in Colombia, he and his mother quickly relocated to Miami, Florida, when he was just a few years old. Knowing she needed to make a living to support her son as a single mother, Sofia Vergara got to work making her acting dreams a reality. Because of her hustle to be successful at her craft when Manolo was just a young child, he has never been a stranger to sound stages and sets.

In his early years, Manolo helped staffers behind the scenes on his mother's series Modern Family as a production assistant. Later on, Manolo took a few supporting roles in films his mother was part of, such as Hot Pursuit with Reese Witherspoon, to gain experience as an actor.

Manolo has also directed some independent projects throughout the years and appeared in commercials, including a Head and Shoulders ad with Sofia.

From the years he spent as the child of a superstar, the world has come to know quite a bit about Manolo Vergara. Because of his experience accompanying his mother to shoots and award shows, it's no surprise that Manolo also has an interest in being part of the entertainment industry.

While he has dabbled in acting, Manolo has also turned to directing and even has a Bachelor's degree in Film Production from Emerson University in Boston, Massachusetts. This degree will likely help boost Manolo's career and help him move forward in the roles he most desires. Will this be in a cooking project with his mother or a television series of his own? Only time will tell.

However, one thing is certain. Both Sofia and Manolo have worked hard to pursue their dreams, and that ambition won't stop any time soon.
