She turned her Emotional Type into a brand.
She used that brand to slay in the audition room.
Then she got her reps onboard with getting her auditions for roles within her Emotional Type.
There’s a reason she has been a series regular for nearly every show, she’s worked on. And it aint’ got nothing to do with dumb luck. It’s Emotional Type Branding & Strategy.
She doesn’t just play Sage, the smartest person on earth in Amazon’s hit show, “The Boys.” She actually crafted an entire career around her Emotional Type. She let the industry know what she’s here for and required it follow the intention she was setting.
