actress Storm Reid
Early life
Reid was born to Rodney (Personal Trainer) and Robyn Simpson Reid (Producer). She is the youngest of four siblings, which include her brother Josh and two sisters, Iman (older sister) and Paris. From an early age, Reid aspired to become an actress, and at the age of 9, she and her family moved to Los Angeles, California for her to pursue acting.
Career
Reid began her professional acting career at a young age, debuting with the television film A Cross To Bear in 2012.
In 2013, she starred as Emily in the historical drama film 12 Years a Slave, which received critical acclaim.
In 2016, she starred as Tina in the science fiction drama film Sleight, the younger sister of the film’s protagonist, Bo. The film was a success, and was received positively. Also in 2016, she starred as Aki in the film Lea to the Rescue, which was part of the American Girl film series.
In 2017, she appeared as Patricia in the comedy-drama film A Happening of Monumental Proportions, which had been received negatively by critics. Better received was her role as Meg Murry in Ava DuVernay‘s A Wrinkle in Time, which was based on the novel of the same name. In spite of the film emerging as a box-office bomb, Reid’s performance earned praise from critics, with some noting her take on the character as a highlight of the film. Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Josh Spiegel stated that “Reid is one of the film’s biggest assets overall; Meg’s arc from being crippled by self-doubt to embracing her faults and her dysfunctional family is wonderfully realized through her expressive and subtle work.” For the role, she earned a nomination for the Teen Choice Award for Choice Fantasy Movie Actress and the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Breakthrough Role in a Motion Picture.
In 2019, Reid starred as Lisa in two episodes of the critically acclaimed Netflix limited series When They See Us, and began portraying the main role of Gia Bennett, the younger sister of the series’ protagonist Rue, in the HBO teen drama series Euphoria. That same year, she voiced Nia in the Hulu series The Bravest Knight, and co-starred with David Oyelowo in the drama film Don’t Let Go as Ashley, the latter of which earned her and Oyelowo positive reviews. FilmSnobReviews wrote that the pair “bring an emotion-filled performance to the screen, capturing grief and confusion to near perfection.”
In 2020, Reid starred as Sydney Lanier, the daughter of James Lanier, in the science fiction horror film The Invisible Man, which was a commercial success and received critical acclaim. In the same year, she was nominated for the BET YoungStars Award. Reid appears in the superhero film The Suicide Squad, which was released in 2021. The following year, she starred opposite Colson Baker, Kevin Bacon and Travis Fimmel in the ensemble action feature One Way.
In 2023, Reid had leading roles in the mystery/thriller film Missing, which was filmed over the COVID-19 pandemic, and the supernatural horror film The Nun II.. Also in 2023, she portrayed Riley Abel in the HBO series The Last of Us, appearing in the episode “Left Behind“. /Film‘s Motamayor wrote that Reid “gives a memorable performance that … sticks with you long after the credits roll”, and Push Square‘s Bayne said she effectively captured Riley’s sense of “youthful pride”. For her performance, she won the Black Reel Award for Outstanding Guest Performance in a Drama Series and the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series.
