Sofia Vergara looks totally transformed in her upcoming role portraying drug kingpin Griselda Blanco for Netflix.<\/p>\n
In new pictures from the series, the America\u2019s Got Talent judge has ditched her glamorous looks and totally changed her face with makeup.<\/p>\n
One still from the show sees her looking bruised and bloodied, hinting at plenty of cartel carnage to come.<\/p>\n

The six-episode limited series will tell the true story of Colombian drug lord Blanco, who rose through the ranks of Miami\u2019s criminal underworld in the 1970s and \u201880s.<\/p>\n
