"Valderrama and Senior were introduced by a friend because of their mutual interest in food and advocacy and decided to work together after just one phone call. "We had a 30-minute conversation scheduled, and we were at an hour and a half, and we just kept talking," Senior says. "It was just really a connection immediately, and we really were like, 'We need to make this into something.'""
"Although NCIS takes place in the DC area, it's actually filmed in Los Angeles, where Valderrama lives. But the actor has spent a lot of time in DC over the years working with advocacy groups like Voto Latino, educating the Latino community on the importance of voting. He's also a senior global ambassador to the USO, traveling oversees to support troops."
Wilmer Valderrama has starred in That 70s Show, Encanto, NCIS, and Zootopia 2. He is opening Elegancia, a Latin American-inspired cocktail bar in Union Market's La Cosecha, replacing Serenata and debuting Wednesday, February 11. Valderrama teamed with Colada Shop owner Daniella Senior after a strong initial connection during an extended phone call. Valderrama lives in Los Angeles where NCIS films but has spent significant time in Washington, D.C., working with Voto Latino and serving as a senior global ambassador to the USO. Valderrama has prior hospitality partnerships in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Atlanta and began in his 20s with an Italian restaurant.
