Known for: 13 Reasons Why, Love, Simon

Katherine Langford made an unforgettable debut with her starring role in Netflix's 13 Reasons Why. Portraying troubled teen Hannah Baker, she was nothing short of phenomenal as she made viewers feel every ounce of pain that the character was suffering. She received universal acclaim for her authentic performance and even earned herself a Golden Globe nomination.

This year, she returned for the show's second season and also played a significant role in the film Love, Simon. Now that she has confirmed that she has finished with 13 Reasons Why, Langford could very well start branching out onto the big screen a lot more.

Her powerful debut set the bar high for her, but it also proved that, despite her lack of previous roles, she naturally possesses the ability to make us smile with a single look and cry with another. One of the best recently-discovered talents, she will undoubtedly become one of Hollywood's strongest leading ladies in the future — and rightly so.
