Sol Rodriguez

María Soledad Rodríguez Belli, known as Sol Rodriguez, was born on April 17, 1990, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Of Spanish and Italian descent, she developed an interest in performing arts from a young age, beginning dance at five. Her family’s move to Guatemala at age eight fostered her passion, where she engaged in school-based musical performances and started appearing in TV commercials at ten. In 2006, she relocated with her parents to Miami, continuing her education at Miami Dade College before signing with a talent agency. Her initial professional work included print modeling for brands like Reebok.

Rodriguez’s career breakthrough began in Latin American television. Her first significant role was as Mecha in Nickelodeon Latin America’s original production “Grachi,” which aired from 2011 to 2013. The series achieved high ratings across Latin America, Asia, and Europe, leading to three seasons and a total of 205 episodes. The show’s popularity also led to a musical tour, “Grachi: El Show en Vivo,” which performed in multiple cities in Mexico, and ten shows in Argentina’s Teatro Gran Rex, Rosario, and Santa Fé. During this period, Rodriguez received nominations for Best Supporting Actress at Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards Mexico and Newcomer at Kids’ Choice Awards Argentina. She also recorded the song “M.A.P.S” for the second “Grachi” album with Isabella Castillo.

Following her success in “Grachi,” Rodriguez continued to expand her work within the Latin American market, appearing in shows for Telemundo NBC, Univision, and Venevision. In 2013, she was recognized for her style at the Latin Billboard Music Awards, being named one of the “10 Best Dressed.” She joined Telemundo for the soap opera “Marido en alquiler” as Sol Porras and later appeared in “Demente Criminal” for Venevisión and Univision. Her transition to the American market included roles in series such as “Devious Maids” as Daniela Mercado (2016), “NCIS” as Elena Silva (2016), “Star Trek: Picard” as Dr. Teresa Ramirez (2022), and a recurring role as Natalia in “Party of Five” (2020). Her notable film credits include “Once Upon a Time in Venice” (2017) and “Holiday in the Vineyards” (2023). She is set to portray Sasha Bordeaux in the second season of “Peacemaker” (2025).
