My Take
Tristin Mays is the kind of working actor I respect because she built her career on consistency rather than one viral moment. Coming out of New Orleans and grinding through stage, television, and film roles, she finally got her signature part as Riley Davis in the MacGyver reboot, playing a covert operative for the Phoenix Foundation. What I like about that role is that it gave her a recurring lead on a major network show, which is a different kind of validation than a flashy one-off. The fact that she also sings tells me she has more range than the action-series casting suggests. She feels like someone still climbing.
