FX’s FEUD: Capote vs. The Swans

I’m over the moon to make my network television debut opposite icons Naomi Watts and Chloë Sevigny in FX’s FEUD: Capote vs. The Swans. Working on this stunning period piece produced by Ryan Murphy, written by Jon Robin Baitz, and Directed by Gus Van Sant and Max Winkler was an absolute dream. Getting a mention in Vulture and discovering I’m now a meme were just the icing on the ultra-luscious cake. Ep. 6: “Hats, Gloves and Effet Homosexuals” on FX + streaming on Hulu.

Horror Adaptation Workshop

Loved performing in the workshop of an exciting new theatre production adapted for the stage from one of my favorite Hollywood horror franchises! Working with one of the UK’s leading theatre companies on this spooky show stretched me as an artist in ways I couldn’t have expected, and the material legit gave me nightmares. Specifics are under wraps for now, but I can’t wait to see where the show goes from here.

American Dynasty, S2

Had a wonderful experience playing Sallie Heinz, the strong, nurturing woman behind the man who created that ketchup you’ve probably got in your fridge right now, in the second season of FOX’s American Dynasty - streaming now. I learned how to knit, had my first on-screen kiss, and got to play THE funniest April Fools joke on my momma with my big ol’ false pregnant belly costume. I also got to work with playful Director Johnny Saint Ours, who’s just the kindest and the coolest.

HIGH SCORE in Deadline + Film Shortage Best Pick of the Month

Proud that my directorial debut, HIGH SCORE, is a Film Shortage Best Pick of the Month and was covered in Deadline. The chilling anti-racist short film follows a burgeoning white supremacist as he’s drawn into the abyss of online radicalization and addresses the real-life consequences of misinformation and hate speech proliferating unchecked on the internet. It won Best Short Film and Best Actor after its world premiere at the Chelsea Film Festival and awards for Best Thriller, another Best Actor, and a Stop Hate Award along its festival journey.

Nowhere to Sleep

St. Ann’s Warehouse + Little Amal + Swoon = an overjoyed actor! What a gift to introduce Amal, the giant puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee girl, to Swoon’s Siblyant Sisters and to spread her message of hope, resilience, and open-armed community to the huge crowd of New Yorkers who turned up (despite the pre-show rain!) to let Amal, Caelum, and Terra know how much they’re loved.🗽✨
