Biography

Sonia Rockwell is an actress and producer based in Los Angeles whose career spans both sides of the camera and whose work behind it has already earned an Emmy Award, an Oscar nomination, and an Oscar shortlist placement.

Rockwell built her acting career across film and television, with a recurring role on Being Mary Jane and a co-starring role opposite Ashton Kutcher and Sebastian Stan in Spread, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was acquired by Anchor Bay Films for theatrical release. Her credits also include a recurring role on Scandal, spanning two decades of work in front of the camera.

As a producer, Rockwell founded Asteria Film Co. (formerly Healing Humanity Productions, Inc.), headquartered at Sunset Gower Studios, the production studio behind the acquisitions of XTR and Documentary Plus. As founder, she helped build a company whose slate was recognized at the highest levels of the industry, including an Emmy Award for The Territory, an Oscar nomination for 95 Senses, an Oscar shortlist placement for Daughters, and five Sports Emmy nominations for The Lionheart. Her involvement with the company concluded in June 2024, when she returned her focus to acting and launched her latest venture, Rockwell Media Partners.

That dual perspective, having founded a company that backed some of the most acclaimed nonfiction and narrative work of the past several years, informed her work as an actress, bringing a producer’s instinct for story and character to every role she took on. As of 2026, Rockwell was developing new projects through Rockwell Media Partners, with a focus on scripted film and television that centers underrepresented perspectives and real-world impact. As of 2026, she lived in Los Angeles.
