Rising Hollywood sensation Yerin Ha, best known for her breakout role as Sophie Baek in Bridgerton Season 4, has been named Ambassador for the 32nd Annual Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA. The announcement places the young actor at the forefront of awards season, celebrating her rapid ascent and influence across film and television.
The Actor Awards ambassador role recognizes performers who represent the “utmost values of the acting profession,” serve as role models for future talent, and use their platforms for humanitarian and public service efforts. In her new role, Ha will participate in pre-show events, attend the Actors Rising showcase for emerging talent, and give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the awards festivities.
Ha’s selection comes at a pivotal moment in her career. Bridgerton Season 4 has catapulted her into international fame as the first East Asian actress to headline the hit Netflix period drama, and she’s maintained a strong presence in other projects including Halo, The Survivors, and Dune: Prophecy. Her work on stage, including starring roles in major theatre productions in Sydney and London, further underscores her range and commitment to her craft.
The 2026 Actor Awards will stream live on Netflix on March 1, with Kristen Bell hosting and celebrated actor Harrison Ford set to receive the prestigious Life Achievement Award. Ha’s appointment signals not just rising star power but the growing global diversity and representation within Hollywood’s acting community.
