formerlyfreedom February 12, 2018 Author Share February 12, 2018 Ellen Page has already been announced, and more news today; Mary J. Blige to Play Sadistic Hitwoman in Netflix's Umbrella Academy Series. Quote The Oscar nominee is joining the cast of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy, an adaptation of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s series of graphic novels about the “estranged members of a dysfunctional family of superheroes.” The super-powered siblings must come together to solve their father’s murder, all the while “coming apart at the seams due to their divergent personalities and abilities.” (You know, normal family stuff.)

ElectricBoogaloo July 18, 2019 Share July 18, 2019 Emmy Raver-Lampman guest starred in this week's episode of Jane the Virgin (S5.E16). She played Lily, Jane's new literary agent. There are only a few episodes left of the show so at most she'll be in two or three more episodes. Link to comment
ElectricBoogaloo December 20, 2019 Share December 20, 2019 Solea Pfeiffer and Emmy Raver-Lampman will star in world premiere of new musical Gun & Powder Quote Current The Light in the Piazza star Solea Pfeiffer (Evita) and Emmy Raver-Lampman (The Umbrella Academy) will star as the Clarke sisters in Signature Theatre’s upcoming world premiere of the new musical Gun & Powder. The two reunite after playing Schuyler Sisters Eliza and Angelica in the first national tour of Hamilton. Directed by Robert O'Hara (Slave Play), the production will run January 28–February 23, 2020, in the MAX Theatre in Arlington, Virginia. Pfeiffer and Raver-Lampman, who will play Mary and Martha, respectively, will be joined by Marva Hicks (Motown: The Musical) as Tallulah Clarke, Dan Tracy (Waitress) as Jesse, and Donald Webber Jr. (Hamilton, Motown) as Elijah. [...] Gun & Powder, featuring a book and lyrics by Angelica Chéri and music by Ross Baum, is inspired by the true story of Mary and Martha Clarke —African-American twins—who pass themselves as white to help settle their mother’s sharecropper debt and seize the funds by any means necessary. However, their bond of sisterhood is tested when they fall in love with two very different men. Link to comment
chitowngirl September 6, 2020 Share September 6, 2020 (edited) Just binged both seasons. Thought everyone is perfectly cast but an extra nod to Aidan Gallagher who embodied the world weary old man so well. And being a minor, had limited set time and such a big, pivotal roll.

ElectricBoogaloo March 16, 2021 Share March 16, 2021 Time interview with Elliot Page It's mostly about Elliot's journey but there are some show related tidbits like this one: Quote In a sign of just how far the industry has come—spurred on by productions like Pose and trailblazers like Mock—Netflix offered to change the credits on The Umbrella Academy the same day that its star posted his statement on social media. Now when an episode ends, the first words viewers see are “Elliot Page.” [...] Page was attracted to the role of Vanya in The Umbrella Academy because—in the first season, released in 2019—Vanya is crushed by self-loathing, believing herself to be the only ordinary sibling in an extraordinary family. The character can barely summon the courage to move through the world. “I related to how much Vanya was closed off,” Page says. Now on set filming the third season, co-workers have seen a change in the actor. “It seems like there’s a tremendous weight off his shoulders, a feeling of comfort,” says showrunner Steve Blackman. “There’s a lightness, a lot more smiling.” For Page, returning to set has been validating, if awkward at times. Yes, people accidentally use the wrong pronouns—“It’s going to be an adjustment,” Page says—but co-workers also see and acknowledge him. 2 Link to comment
