Rhea Seehorn

After admiring Rhea Seehorn from afar for a long time, I had the chance to adore her up close while acting opposite her in a film called Sender. She was electric, distinct, and witty. Her eyes wide and wise; her tenacity both a sword and a balm. Rhea has a wondrous laugh, which cracks the air like a lightning bolt of joy. 

I was not at all surprised to learn she has a background in studio art. Rhea approaches herself as the canvas. She creates rhythm and texture, edges, and shadows from thin air. In every role, Rhea comes from an angle unforeseen. She honors the invisible work of acting, time spent with text, tone, and craft, and then shows up to set to do what she does best—be playful and generous.

It is a joy to see the whole world fall in love with her in Pluribus as Carol, who is as tender as she is tough. Rhea Seehorn is singular, and it is a treasure to know her.
