Parker is known for her role in “The Last of Us,” where she played Pedro Pascal’s daughter. She’s discussed her experience while making the series and how representation is incredibly important in Hollywood. “If young kids watch the show and feel they’re represented through race or hair or anything, that’s 10 times more important than anyone who doesn’t like it because they don’t like to see different people on their screen,” she said to Yahoo! Entertainment.
“Suncoast” will premiere on Hulu on February 9th.
