Gigi Grace, the 16-year-old actress, had been initially slated to appear in just one episode of the critically acclaimed series The Better Sister. However, the role ended up being expanded to four episodes, thanks to multiple script rewrites.
Experience and Background | Gigi started singing and writing songs in childhood and has also pursued a background in mixed martial arts and dance. She attended classes at local nonprofits such as Arts Alive! and Trinity Rep in Providence. |
Since moving to New York to pursue acting at the age of 11, Gigi has been immersed in the entertainment industry. She has been taking classes at various acting studios and working on projects to develop her craft. In addition, she continues to study at online schools to balance her academic and professional pursuits. “I feel very lucky,” she says. “It was a really fun project to work on, and I’m really excited to see it brought to life.”
“I have family in Rhode Island, so it makes it very accessible,” says Gigi. “It can be chaotic at times when I have to be in one location on short notice. It’s a lot of driving and a lot of taking trains, but I like it.”
Despite being a teenager, Gigi has already experienced the challenges and uncertainties of the entertainment industry. She says that The Better Sister was a significant role in her development as an actress and she is grateful for the opportunity to appear in another highly acclaimed project, Lioness, in addition to Hulu’s mini-series “Fleishman Is in Trouble”. The versatility of Gigi’s talents extends beyond acting. She has a background in music and songwriting, playing guitar and teaching students. She has also participated in various styles of dance, including ballet and hip-hop. When asked about her aspirations, Gigi said, “It’s a very uncertain business, so my greatest hope is to just keep working. I wish for the auditions to keep coming in and to be a part of more exciting projects.”
“I have a small circle of friends and family who I really hope will be there for me throughout my career,” she says.
