Jenna Ortega Almost Quit Acting Before ‘You’ Role: “Felt Like A Good Time To Call It Quits”

I thought she was good in it but I did not think she'd become this successful at least not so soon.

You should watch Thoroughbreds, even though it's Olivia Cooke (who's great) instead of Ortega.

SOLD!

She was great in that film The Fallout. I’d like to see her do a buddy comedy as well (her stuff with Emma Myers in Wednesday is very fun).

PLEASE GOD

Because you hate cheeks?

Plays? She barely does anything, most barebones acting I've ever seen. But, sometimes you get lucky. Anya Taylor-Joy is way too much of an actual performer to be paired with Ortega as co leads or smth.

That’s most TV actors pre-streaming. Residuals don’t make you a millionaire (most of the time) but they cover your bills for life so you work only for disposable income

I don't think her show Stuck in the Middle was that popular. Residuals do come if you were on network tv but they depend on how popular the show was, how often it reruns, how much screen time you had and how long ago it aired. So some actors only get pennies in checks because of how long ago it was, or how many reruns it gets a month. People from Friends, Golden Girls, Full House, Frasier, and phineas and ferb probably make comfortable money based on popularity and reruns. Kids networks on known for pumping out new shows to avoid years of reruns and keeping them short(3 seasons or less) to avoid paying residuals long term.

I really liked her in The Babysitter Killer Queen too

She really needs to get a new agent.

Watch 'The Fallout'. Made for tv film that I think was her first leading film role. *Great* performances.

i loved Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, i rewatch the scene with the wedding and the music number for McArthur Park like once a month. rip Catherine O'Hara

Getting typecast is tough no matter who you are.

Death of a Unicorn was pretty good

Try The Fallout

She is the best part of Scream 5 and 6 too imo. From her first scene in 5 it became obvious that she could act circles around the other new cast members.

What’s wrong with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice? My family had a good time with it. Also Scream was pretty good.

Wasn’t she a Nickelodeon or Disney child actor

Profile hidden, super generic comment, 3 month old account, and an autogenerated name. This seems like a bot account to me.

Totally agree, I watched the entire show even though I didn’t think she was particularly good. She was the highlight of the entire series from the moment she appeared. Season 2 in general was probably in some ways the best to me as well. Definitely some dumb shit but I enjoyed the exploration of Joe kind of developing a somewhat natural normal relationship with Delilah

I remember being surprised by her in that because I'd only known her a little bit from watching a couple of episodes of her Disney Channel show.

Not a debut at all lol. She’s terrible and plays the same child in every single thing she is in.

Literally? Was it in 3D?

She never said she thought the casting directors should know who she was lol Edit: she didn’t say your first point either 😂

Buccal fat removal, plastic surgery, and she had shaven her eyebrows off not that long ago.

Jealous or bot

She was a Disney child actor and on CW. So she started acting young and did plenty of things by this time.

thank god for that she wasn’t referring to this point then
