Ava Michelle Joins Sabrina Carpenter & Paris Berelc in Netflix's 'Tall Girl'

Ava Michelle has booked the lead role in Netflix’s forthcoming film, Tall Girl!

The 16-year-old actress will star as Jodi, a high school student who must embrace what makes her different and be proud to stand out, not fit in.

Griffin Gluck will star in Tall Girl as Jack Dunkleman, Jodi’s best friend; and Luke Eisner as Stig, a handsome – and equally tall – Swedish foreign exchange student.

Sabrina Carpenter is Harper, Jodi’s beautiful and extremely melodramatic pageant-winning older sister and Paris Berelc stars as Liz, the unconventional best friend of Jodi’s tormentor.

Other cast members include Anjelika Washington as Fareeda, Jodi’s best friend who seems to have it all figured out; Clara Wilsey as Kimmy, the most popular girl at school and Jodi’s nemesis; Rico Paris as Schnipper, a popular jerk and one of Jodi’s regular tormentors; and Steve Zahn and Angela Kinsey as Jodi and Harper’s parents.

Production on Tall Girl will begin this week in New Orleans.
