The 21-year-old actress can currently be seen on NBC’s Young Rock as Karen, Dwayne’s teenage love interest.
The series focuses on different chapters of Dwayne Johnson’s life. From growing up in a strong and resilient family, to being surrounded by the wild characters of his professional wrestling family, to playing football at the University of Miami, the show will explore the crazy rollercoaster that has shaped Dwayne into the man he is today and the larger-than-life characters he’s met along the way.
While this week’s episode focuses on the young adult years of Dwayne, next week’s episode will be back to the high school days and you can catch Lexie then!
1. I am an Australian/American Dual Citizen. I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. My Dad is Australian and my Mum is American. She moved to Australia after college.
2. My first introduction to the industry was through Musical Theatre. I played Jane Banks in the Australian Musical Production of Disney/Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins for a year when I was 11 years old.
3. I have the most adorable Pomeranian, who is named after my Mary Poppins experience. His name is Poppins, even though he’s a boy. He doesn’t seem to mind though.
4. During the filming of Young Rock, my cast mates Bradley Constant (15 year old Dwayne) and Taj Cross (Gabe) had a couple weeks off so we went to almost every tourist destination around Brisbane, including Australia Zoo. I have a distinct memory of their faces getting up close with our native animals like Kangaroos, Koalas – Priceless!
5. My go-to jam session music is almost any Broadway Musical cast recording – I’m a little bit of a theatre geek.

JJJ is learning more about the super cute young star of Yes Day, Everly Carganilla!
The young actress plays the youngest member of the Torres family in the movie, Ellie.
Here’s a synopsis: Always feeling like they have to say NO to their kids and co-workers, Allison and Carlos decide to give their three kids a YES DAY — where for 24 hours the kids make the rules. Little did they know that they’d be going on a whirlwind adventure around Los Angeles, that would bring the family closer to each other than ever before.
