Whatever Happened To Alexa Vega?

Though we've mostly seen Alexa PenaVega up on the big screen, many fans may not know that she's lent her voice to some animated stuff over the years, too. However, everything changed for Alexa and Carlos PenaVega in 2019. "Out of nowhere Nickelodeon was like, 'Let's give your family their own show,'" he explained to TV Insider. "And they wanted to make it work from Maui."

After starring in a few episodes of the network's animated series "Loud House," the PenaVegas were indeed offered their own spin-off series called "The Casagrandes." When it aired for the very first time, "people related to it so much," Alexa explained. "We're both Hispanic, so to be able to see our families represented, even within a cartoon, was really cool."

While the PenaVegas have been easily able to lend their voices from afar — Carlos built a voiceover booth in their own Hawaiian home — acting out cartoon characters isn't as easy as it seems. Many times, the PenaVegas have ended their days without having voices at all. "You're exhausted because you've been singing and laughing and jumping," Alexa continued. "There's just so much energy packed into such a small amount of time." Yet, after three seasons and even more voiceover roles in the works, it seems safe to say that Alexa still enjoys it just as much as acting in films. At this point, this actress can really do anything!
