Laya DeLeon Hayes on 'Insecure'
At just 18, actor Laya DeLeon Hayes already has a decade in film, television, and video games under her belt. She voiced Doc McStuffins, won a BAFTA for God of War Ragnarök, and co-starred with Queen Latifah on The Equalizer. Now she's helming a film of her own in Bomani J. Story's The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster, a reimagining of Frankenstein that premiered at SXSW and is now in theaters. She comes to us today with the kind of character she hopes to see more of -- and play more of -- on screen: the fun, awkward, and freely herself Issa Dee on Insecure, as played by the show's creator, Issa Rae.
Then, Jordan has one very quick thing about the new Expendables 4 trailer.
