Sofia Bryant
Career
Sofia discovered her love for the performing arts at age twelve while at a summer conservatory in New York City and has continued professional training since then. She began her career appearing in numerous commercials and print campaigns before making her TV debut.[1]
In 2015, she lent her voice to the animated film Birdboy: The Forgotten Children.[2] She garnered extreme popularity after her new Netflix series “I Am Not Okay with This” was released. Sofia played one of the leading roles as Dina in the show. Some of the other main stars of I Am Not Okay with This are Sophia Lillis as Sydney Novak, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley Barber, Richard Ellis as Bradley Lewis, Kathleen Rose Perkins as Maggie, etc.
In an interview with Collider about "I Am Not Okay with This", Bryant said:
This show isn’t a show about superpowers or superheroes.
It’s first a show about humans and really just the trials and tribulations of a girl growing up in Pittsburgh going to high school, who comes to find that she has superpowers on top of everything else and it’s this huge overwhelming metaphor for what high school is like for most teenagers.
I think it centers around that first and that’s what makes it so relatable, at least for me.
High school coming-of-age story.[5]
Answering the question about her character in the series, Bryant said:
She really doesn’t want to see the bad in anyone.
She really wants to like everyone and I think that’s why a lot of times Sydney likes her.
If there’s one thing I could take from her, it’s that she likes everyone until she’s given a reason.
That’s really lovable about her.
She’s a very sweet girl.[5]
