A native of Los Angeles, Afra was discovered in a park at the age of 4 by a casting director who thought she just may have what it takes to be an actress. The casting director was right, for soon after introducing Afra to a top children's agency, she began working. While she now works regularly in television and film, Afra is perhaps best known for her Audi spot in which she plays a quirky little girl who thinks her dad's an alien.
