Hailed as the ‘Next Big Thing’ by The Hollywood Reporter, Teyonah Parris is taking the town by storm. Whether lighting up the screen in Spike Lee’s CHI-RAQ and the Sundance cult-favorite DEAR WHITE PEOPLE, or commanding scenes in the acclaimed TV series MAD MEN and SURVIVOR'S REMORSE, Parris is the most electric talent to hit Hollywood in a generation, embarking on a career working alongside legends such as George C. Wolfe, Jamie Foxx, Spike Lee, and Angela Bassett to name a few.
With a southern charm, unparalleled drive and a trademark smile, Parris has been diligent about using her artistry to amplify and celebrate the richness and nuance of the human experience, through the lens of black womanhood. Hailing from Columbia, South Carolina Parris has established herself as a versatile actress who continues to catch audience's attention on stage and screen. Parris is a graduate of the prestigious Juilliard School in New York City.

Parris is coming off the recent success of Netflix's THEY CLONED TYRONE starring opposite John Boyega and Jamie Foxx. The film marked the directorial debut of Creed 2 scribe Juel Taylor, and follows a series of events that thrusts an unlikely trio (Boyega, Foxx, Parris) onto the trail of a nefarious government conspiracy.
In 2021, global audiences saw Parris join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as "Monica Rambeau" in the Disney+ original series WANDAVISION, and feature film THE MARVELS.
