Meet actress and fashion maven Emma Myers – aka Enid Sinclair in Netflix’s Wednesday
Myers plays Jenna Ortega’s best friend on the hit show, and was also in A Minecraft Movie with Jason Momoa and Jack Black
Here’s everything you need to know about the rising actress, who has almost ten million followers on Instagram at the time of writing.
Her passion for acting began at the age of five
Myers was born on April 2, 2002, in Orlando, Florida, to lawyers Nicole Cassimatis Myers, who is American with Greek ancestry, and Jeremy Myers. She is the second eldest of four sisters and was home-schooled by her mother, who preferred her children to have a “hands-on education”, according to Variety. Although her unconventional schooling made socialising difficult, she told the publication she found friendship through theatre and dance.
Her love of performing began at the age of five after she accompanied her older sister to auditions in Orlando – though her sister later chose to pursue law like their parents. Myers made her screen debut in 2010 with an uncredited part in the film Letters to God. She reportedly took a break from acting when she turned 12 due to the unpredictable nature of casting, but revisited her passion at 16 after moving to Atlanta. During that time she focused on dance, which she told Variety has helped with her stunt work as an adult.
After gaining widespread recognition for her role in Netflix’s Wednesday, she starred as Pippa Fitz-Amobi in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and appeared in films including Family Switch, Southern Gospel, and A Minecraft Movie alongside Jason Momoa and Jack Black. She is also set to voice a character in upcoming The Angry Birds Movie 3.
