America Ferrera joins 'Invisible'

April 30, 2008 America Ferrera has signed on to star in "An Invisible Sign of My Own," a coming-of-age drama that will also mark Marilyn Agrelo's first directorial effort since her breakout documentary "Mad Hot Ballroom." Ferrera will have a relatively short window in which to shoot the movie; the "Ugly Betty" star is on an aggressive production schedule for her ABC hit, with ABC Studios still in production on the show until early May and then going back into production in June as the show shoots ahead of a potential SAG strike. The actress has been in demand since her ABC telenovela adaptation took off two years ago and has continued to manage a robust career in film, following up her role in Warners' "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" with a turn in this summer's sequel.
