Agatha: Coven of Chaos Adds Sasheer Zamata to Cast, Why Does She Look So Familiar?
The actress has not had many leading roles yet, although she has starred in several major projects.
As WandaVision fans await the spin-off Agatha: Coven of Chaos, another actress has been added to the series' cast – Sasheer Zamata has been confirmed to play sorceress Jennifer Kale.
In the comics, Jennifer Kale was recruited by Doctor Strange along with other sorcerers to form a group known as the Witches in hopes of protecting the world from global threats. However, it is not yet known exactly what role Jennifer will play in Agatha: Coven of Chaos.
Sasheer Zamata's face is most likely familiar to you, so here is a look at where you might have seen her before the new Marvel project.
The actress' first relatively major project was the series Transparent, where she starred alongside Kathryn Hahn, who will play the main role in Agatha: Coven of Chaos.
Later, Sasheer took part in Kevin Smith's comedy Yoga Hosers, where she co-starred with Lily Rose-Depp and Johnny Depp. According to the plot, high school girls must use their yoga skills to fight evil.
The movie received devastating reviews from viewers and critics, but allowed Sasheer to work with A-list actors.
The actress' next project was the fantasy drama Sleight, where she played one of the main supporting roles. The movie tells the story of the magician Bo, who is forced into the drug trade, but when a rival faction enters the local market, the boss forces Bo to do more than just sell.
In 2016, Zamata participated in the series from the producer of The Office called People of Earth. This is the story of a skeptical reporter who, as part of an investigative journalism project, attends a group for survivors of alien contact. The more the reporter communicates with the members of the group, the more he believes them.
The actress' biggest project to date is the comedy I Feel Pretty, starring Amy Schumer. The story is about a woman Renee, who is constantly looking for a way to lose weight.
During one of the classes at the gym, she falls off the exercise bike and hits her head. As a result of the injury, Renee begins to think that she has an irresistible look.
Recently, the actress got one of the main roles in the comedy series Home Economics from the director of The Office. The series showed the relationship of two brothers and a sister, each of whom reached a different position in society.
