The Spanish born actress, Paz Vega, born on January 2, 1976 in Seville, Spain, has built an impressive acting career since earning her first credit on the Spanish TV series, Menudo es mi Padre. But it was her Best Actress Goya Award-winning role in Sex And Lucia in 2001 that helped launch her career.
Since then Vega has been a staple in dozens of Spanish TV series and films. It was only a matter of time that she’d catch the attention of Hollywood and was cast in her most notable commercial film Spanglish, starring opposite Adam Sandler (Kevin Can Wait).
