My Take
Frankie Adams earned my respect the moment Bobbie Draper walked on screen in The Expanse. Standing 180 centimeters tall with a genuine boxing background, she gives physical authority to a Martian marine that no amount of CGI could fake, yet her best scenes are the quiet ones where pride and doubt fight behind her eyes. Coming up through Shortland Street gave her craft; her Samoan New Zealand heritage gives her a presence Hollywood still underuses. Born in 1994, she has time on her side, and I believe she is exactly the kind of grounded, physical performer the next decade of genre television needs.
Overview
Frankie Adams (born 3 January 1994) is a Samoan New Zealand actress, best known for her roles as Bobbie Draper in the science fiction television series The Expanse and as Ula Levi in the prime-time soap opera Shortland Street.
