Priah Ferguson

ACTOR

She may have only been given small scenes when cast in season two of Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” but that didn’t stop her from stealing them. She has landed roles on FX series “Atlanta” and PBS scripted series “Mercy Street.” Next up she appears in “The Oath” starring Tiffany Haddish and is “writing a concept for a documentary,” she says. “I’m working to become a well-respected actress with a variety of projects. But I also want to write, cast, and ultimately open an acting studio for children in underserved communities.”
