Coral Peña

Many first became familiar with raven haired actor Coral Pena when she was cast as self-taught computer analyst Gia on the series "24: Legacy" (Fox, 2017-). A graduate of New York City's St. Hilda's & St. Hugh's private Episcopalian school, Pena went on to attend New York University's Tisch School for the Arts, where she earned her BFA in 2007. From there, Pena continued to rigorously hone her craft, training at Stonestreet Studios and at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where she appeared in Shakespearean productions such as "Much Ado About Nothing." She also spent significant time training at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, where she appeared in a number of acclaimed productions including "Anatomy of Gray," "Tartuffe," "Mornings at Seven," and "Twelfth Night." By 2015, Pena was poised for major breakthrough and it finally came, as she co-starred in Shakespeare in the Square's production of "All's Well That End's Well" and also made her onscreen debut, guest starring on an episode of "Blue Bloods" (CBS, 2010-)-all in addition to directing and starring in her own short film "Drool" (2015) that same year. The next year would prove to be an even bigger one, as Pena began shooting "24: Legacy," with the series premiering in 2017.
