Paris Berelc

ACTOR

The star of the Emmy-nominated Netflix series “Alexa & Katie” has won kudos for her comedic but nuanced portrayal of Alexa, a teenager diagnosed with cancer. “This [past] season we focused more on high school issues teenagers go through in real life, and I feel like the audience will be able to relate to all of the characters,” she says. Previously a staple of the Disney Channel, she was cast as Disney XD’S first female superhero, Skylar Storm, in the hit series “Mighty Med,” reprised the role in the spinoff “Lab Rats: Elite Force” and also starred in the Disney comedy “Invisible Sister.” Season two of hit “Alexa & Katie” has been greenlighted by Netflix.
