ophelia regan jacobs → hollywood au
ophelia started out her career when she was discovered by scouts looking for dancers for a childrens show when she was 6
she moved into film when she was 7, playing a small role in the film the backup plan, after which she was cast in the final installment in the spy kids series, which came out when she was 9.
for a few years she just did small tv spots and commercials.
when she was 12 she landed her big break, taking on the iconic role of riley matthews, the daughter of cory matthews and topanga lawrence, in the boy meets world spinoff girl meets world.
at first ophelia was hailed as a potential new america’s sweetheart, as everyone from children to grown adults were excited to jump into the world of the matthews family, but after only a short time ophelia surprised audiences by being much more than just another child actress.
she’s stirred up a bit of controversy for using her platform of fame to draw attention to her political views rather than use for self promotion of any kind, not to mention she can get a bit extreme with her beliefs and has been known to openly argue with costars who disagree with her.
since the cancellation of gmw, ophelia has almost entirely cut her ties to disney and openly spoke about their desire to stiffle her voice in favor of her being just another cookie cutter disney star.
she still acts, doing some tv spots and a few indie films, but mostly she works alongside organizations she believes in to use her platform for activism.
she’s still good friends with her gmw co-star blaky edwards
she met benji riddle when she starred in his music video for his song sunshine & city lights and the two have become good friends
she’s also in brie thomas’ girl squad cause duh
i think thats pretty much it???
