Actor Awards 2026 Biggest Winners: Michael B. Jordan, ‘The Pitt’ & More
While Odessa A’Zion is an actor, she won’t play just anyone.
Ahead of the Marty Supreme star heading into the Actor Awards 2026, she revealed that she likes playing eccentric characters like Rachel Mizler, and couldn’t see herself doing anything else.
“I don’t think I’m good at playing a girl next door type,” Odessa exclusively told Justin Sylvester during Live from E!: Actor Awards 2026 March 1. “I think it would be bad. It would be me being like, ‘Hey,’ I can’t even. It would be so bad.”
One role that was certainly not bad, though, was Odessa’s performance opposite Timothée Chalamet in the Josh Safdie film, which earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a film alongside Weapons’ Amy Madigan, One Battle After Another’s Teyana Taylor, Wicked: For Good’s Ariana Grande and Sinners’ Wunmi Mosaku. (See who took home the trophy, plus every other winner from the evening, here.)
And while Odessa gave an outstanding performance, she emphasized she had the best scene partner in Timothée.
