Meet Megan Stalter, star of Hacks and Too Much: besides the HBO Max hit, the TikTok-comedian-turned-actress and LGBT icon has also starred in Sabrina Carpenter’s No Nonsense Christmas
Megan Stalter was a TikTok comedian before she landed a role in HBO Max’s Hacks – now, she’s returning to the screen with Lena Dunham’s highly anticipated new Netflix show, Too Much
Stalter, 34, has also starred in films like Star-Crossed and the TV shows including Queer as Folk.
So, what else do we know about her?
Megan Stalter was dubbed the “queen of quarantine” on social media
One of Stalter’s most recognisable moments might be her 2021 viral TikTok video featuring the now-iconic “hi, gay” line. In the skit, she plays a woman trying to sell butter to the queer community during Pride Month. “That video, I literally was rushing out the door,” she told The New Yorker. “It was Pride Month, and I’ve just seen so many ads from places that would never normally do a Pride thing. It just was, like, something clicked – where it was, like, ‘God, that would be so funny.’”
Stalter’s videos started to gain traction during the pandemic, which eventually earned her the title of “queen of quarantine”, per the same publication.
She’s always loved being on stage
Stalter doesn’t get stage fright.
