Erica Munoz, a Los Angeles native got the acting bug at the young age of 8 years old. With her first professional gig in the Broadway show "Rent," Erica has been busy ever since!

Erica currently plays the role of "Anna" on the hit CBS show, "Jericho." Her character is close friends with Jake (Skeet Ulrich) who lost her fiance, is pregnant and uncertain of her future. Erica told Teen Scene, "The Jericho set is full of people that genuinely love what they are doing. It is really a fantastic environment. "

When Erica isn't busy acting, she stays active by taking her dog hiking and admits to having an addiction to karaoke! Erica and her partner Kenny Kelleher are developing a show and hope to be busy with that in the upcoming months.

While Erica looks up to many of the actresses she works with, it's her mother who she admires the most. "She is strong, funny and courageous. I can only hope to be a fraction of the woman she is!" To all the teens out there who want to pursue acting, Erica says, "never give up." With Erica's positive attitude and growing success, we at Teen Scene wish her the best of luck!
