Lepe appeared as "Christina" in the 2007 romantic comedy Retirement, portrayed "Miriam" in the 2006 short film Jamaica Motel, and "Natalia" in Telemundo's telenovela, Los Teens.
Lepe's predecessor on The Good Night Show, Melanie Martinez, was fired because of the dialogue in an independent short film in which she had starred before taking the part. Lepe herself had appeared in the short film Jamaica Motel, which featured sexual language, in the role of an undercover detective posing as a prostitute. This led Michael Getler, the PBS Ombudsman, to criticise Sprout for what he perceived as inconsistency.[1]
