Alexandra Shipp

What strikes me about Alexandra Shipp is the gravity of the roles she chooses. Stepping into the late Aaliyah for a biopic is a tall order for any young actor, and she followed it with Straight Outta Compton and a Max Mara future-talent honor. She sings and acts with equal ease, but it is her willingness to take on emotionally demanding parts rather than coast on charm that earns my interest. I see an artist building a career on substance, and I am curious to watch which difficult, layered characters she reaches for next.
