The Screen Actors Guild Awards has officially announced its ambassadors for the 31st annual ceremony, set to take place in 2025. On January 24, SAG revealed that actors Noah Centineo and Sofia Carson will serve as this year’s ambassadors, with both stars being celebrated for their commitment to humanitarian causes, their positive influence on younger generations of performers, and their exemplary representation of the acting profession.
According to a press release, Centineo, 28, and Carson, 31, were selected for their roles as both entertainers and advocates. The announcement described them as individuals who “exemplify the utmost values of the acting profession” and who actively use their platforms to support various public service and humanitarian efforts.
As SAG Awards ambassadors, Centineo and Carson will provide fans with “exclusive behind-the-scenes access” to the ceremony, in addition to participating in several pre-show events. One of the key initiatives they will support is the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s efforts to provide disaster relief to members impacted by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. This marks an important part of the Foundation’s mission to assist performers who have faced hardships due to natural disasters and other crises.
Noah Centineo: From Heartthrob to Executive Producer
Noah Centineo’s rise to fame was fast and impactful, with his portrayal of Peter Kavinsky in To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before capturing the hearts of audiences worldwide. Since then, he has continued to expand his career in both acting and production. Centineo recently made a cameo reprisal of his role as Peter in the Netflix spinoff XO, Kitty.
In addition to his acting work, Centineo has branched out into producing, notably as an executive producer for the popular Netflix series The Recruit. He currently stars as CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks in the show, which will premiere its second season later this month. Centineo also has an exciting new role in the war drama Warfare, alongside actors Charles Melton, Kit Connor, and Will Poulter.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Centineo reflected on his career goals, revealing that he plans to return to romantic roles eventually. “At some point, I would like to go back to romance. I don’t know if it would be YA, but I do want to go back to romance,” he shared. For now, Centineo’s focus remains on working with filmmakers he admires, continuing to grow both as an actor and a producer. “My goals are to work with filmmakers that I love and that I think are incredible,” he said, adding, “Who knows where it’s going to lead.”
