Isa Briones

After production wrapped in Los Angeles on the series' first season, Briones returned to the stage, appearing in AJ Rafael's Crazy Talented Asians, and #Hash(tag) America by Anthony Fedorov and Raye Zaragoza. In May 2020, Briones and the cast of Crazy Talented Asians began producing a monthly online performance series.

Briones has recorded several video duets with fellow Filipino-American performer AJ Rafael; their version of "Rewrite the Stars" from The Greatest Showman was released as a single. Her rendition of "Blue Skies" from Star Trek: Picard was released as a single in 2020.

As of 2020, Briones lives in Los Angeles. She has begun making music with her brother Teo.

Briones joined her Star Trek: Picard castmates including Jonathan Frakes, Jeri Ryan and Brent Spiner in a video message of hope to viewers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020.

Briones was cast in multiple roles in Star Trek: Picard in 2019. In addition to her acting performances, she sang an updated version of an Irving Berlin song for the season one finale.

In 2019, Briones was cast in Star Trek: Picard, playing two sets of synthetic twins: Dahj and Soji, and Jana and Sutra. Briones sent tapes of herself to audition for Picard while she was playing multiple roles on stage in Hamilton, and learned during her final callback that she would portray twins in the series. Briones identified most closely with Soji who, after Romulan attacks, learns she is an android created from a neuron recovered from Data: "I think that's a very relatable story as a mixed person, deciding that you can be  ... both Filipino and white, and you can be both synthetic and human, if that's how you feel inside." She trained for a month to perform many of her own stunts.

In his review of Star Trek: Picard, Entertainment Weekly' s Darren Franich called the plot developments "shock tactics" and her character "vacant". Scott Collura of IGN wrote that Soji is effectively a plot device, but Briones "gives it her all week after week, reacting best she can to Soji’s changing status quo". Keith DeCandido from Tor.com said her performance improved with each episode; "her confused post-activation Soji is her best work".

Briones has performed in numerous stage musicals. She earned three distinct Ovation Award nominations for Featured Actress In a Musical from the LA STAGE Alliance in 2018; she won for one of two runs as Natalie in Next to Normal, also topping her portrayal of "Perón's mistress" in Evita.

Briones joined her father when he moved back to New York in January 2018. She was cast in Hamilton following a seven-month audition process, becoming at age 19 the youngest person to join the first national touring company, in which she played both Peggy Schuyler and Maria Reynolds. Briones toured with the company until March 2019; she was cast in Star Trek: Picard in April.

Reviewing Next to Normal in 2016, Cary Ginell of BroadwayWorld wrote, "Briones gives a disquietingly effective, achingly nuanced portrayal" of her character, Natalie. Margaret Gray of the Los Angeles Times called Briones the "breakout star" of the production in May 2017: "Briones played the role before ... and she has a lock on it."

Briones began her career as a model in New York City at age three; she has acted in feature films and stage productions starting in 2008. She won the Ovation Award for Featured Actress In a Musical for Next to Normal in 2018 in Los Angeles; afterward, she returned to New York and became the youngest performer in the first touring company of Hamilton, playing multiple roles.

Briones began her acting career as a child in 2008, appearing in television commercials and playing supporting roles in feature films including Takers and Lonely Boy. For a television pilot in 2010, she played one of three children of a single mother moonlighting as a drug kingpin in Beverly Hills; Cutthroat was not picked up as a series.

Her parents met while auditioning for Miss Saigon in Stuttgart; her father was closing its West End theatre production when Briones was born. She was ten months old when her family moved from London to New York City, where she began work as a model at age three. In 2006, when Briones was seven, her family moved to Los Angeles.

Isabella Camille Briones (born January 17, 1999) is an English-born American actor and singer. She is known to web television viewers as Soji, android 'daughter' of Data, in Star Trek: Picard.
