Taissa Farmiga

Taissa Farmiga is one of those actors who could have easily coasted on the "younger sister of Vera Farmiga" angle and nobody would have blamed her — but instead she built her own lane and made it genuinely compelling. She got her start in Vera's directorial debut Higher Ground back in 2011, which is a pretty wild way to enter the industry, and then dove headfirst into American Horror Story across multiple seasons, cementing herself as a legit scream queen in her own right. What I find interesting is that she spans stage, screen, and voice work, which tells me she's not just chasing franchises but actually sharpening her craft. The Farmiga sisters as a horror duo is honestly one of Hollywood's more underrated sibling stories, and at 30 she's still in the early chapters.
