“’At the time [the 90s] there were no managers for TV personalities in the Latin market.” According to Luis Balaguer, the man who would become (Sofia Vergara’s) manager, the lack of representation was due, in large part, to Univision, which had a virtual monopoly on Spanish-speaking talent: ‘You needed to be careful. You needed to behave, because if Univision fired you, people would never hear from you again.’ And Univision did more than discourage the hiring of managers. It also insisted that talent sign a contract—written in English, even though so much of the Univision talent could only habla español—in the room and on the spot, no lawyer to run a magnifying glass over that fine print. (Univision, incidentally, declined to comment for this article.)”
