Pixar Is Looking For A Young Actress To Be The Voice Of A Teenage Trans Girl
Pixar Animation Studios is looking for a young trans actress to portray a transgender girl in an upcoming project.
The character, Jess, is described as “compassionate, funny, and always has your back” in a one-sheet casting call put out by the studio.
They are looking for a 12- to 17-year-old actress to fill the voiceover role and emphasise that they will need to “authentically portray a 14-year-old transgender girl.” It has been assumed that means the studio would prefer to cast a trans actress for the role.
The announcement ends with how to audition.
“If you know a child who fits the description and would like to audition for the role, her legal guardian should contact: [email protected]”
As ‘LGBTQ Nation’ writes, the studio is one of the most diverse with several LGBT+ actors and characters throughout various projects.
