Veteran Turned-Model and Actress Stephanie Santana Goes Viral for Her Incredibly Convincing Portrayal of a Cop on Instagram
In 2023, Stephanie Santana became a viral star as her portrayal of a police officer in a brief Instagram clip just about fooled over 26 million viewers into believing she was truly a cop. Her talent clearly speaks for itself, but these viewers, and many other fans of her work, would be shocked to know that Stephanie has only been working in the industry for a few years.
Stephanie Santana: A Rising Star
Just a few short years ago, Stephanie Santana hadn’t even begun to consider acting and modeling. She was serving her country in the US Air Force and working with the government. She even obtained two medical degrees that she intended to use to continue that work. But something changed.
As the pandemic began and she started shifting to a remote role for the DOD, her mental health also shifted. Stress and anxiety mixed with a repetitive daily routine that she began to grow to resent. There had to be more than this for her.
Stephanie took action, starting out by signing with an agency and taking a few modeling and acting classes. It was clear from the very beginning that she was a natural, quickly booking numerous acting and modeling roles. She was featured in international campaigns like “My Place Hotels” and “Arcadia Custom Windows,” pushing her success forward as she became a series regular in a telenovela web series. She even won a Latina Impact Award for her incredible talent and work.
The Viral Moment
Halfway through 2023, Stephanie posted a video to her Instagram of her behind the scenes of an upcoming role in which she plays a police officer. What she didn’t expect was the millions of viewers it quickly amassed. Comments like, “Hollywood actor in the making, cause I was convinced I had to rewatch it,” and “I actually thought you were a cop!” discuss just how incredible her portrayal was in this brief, impromptu clip.
The Future for Stephanie Sanatana
