""Can you hear this sound?" Sabrina Impacciatore asks, holding up her laptop on a summery succulent-filled patio. "It's the crickets singing. They sing all day long. It's incredible." The eternally enthusiastic Italian actress is at her escape on the island of Formentera - near Ibiza, she explains, gesticulating wildly as she maps the Mediterranean for me with her hands - taking some time to recharge amid her increasingly busy schedule."
"In The Paper, a spinoff of The Office that airs on Peacock, Impacciatore plays Esmeralda Grand, the managing editor of a floundering local newspaper in Toledo, Ohio, who has previously appeared on the reality show Married at First Sight (which explains how she got to the U.S.). Esmeralda is incompetent, egotistic, and, thanks to Impacciatore's ace comedic timing, totally fabulous. She has no knowledge of how journalism works but refuses to give up her power over the newsroom to Domhnall Gleeson's upstart new editor-in-chief."
Sabrina Impacciatore relaxes on Formentera, listening to crickets and recharging amid an increasingly busy schedule. She began acting as a teenager on Italian variety shows before moving into comedic and dramatic film and television roles. Her role as hotel manager Valentina in The White Lotus season two propelled her to Hollywood recognition. She now appears in The Paper, a spinoff of The Office on Peacock, as Esmeralda Grand, the managing editor of a struggling Toledo newspaper. The character is incompetent, egotistic, and fabulously performed with sharp comedic timing, refusing to relinquish newsroom power to a new editor. Esmeralda blends traits reminiscent of Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute, and Kelly Kapoor.
