Not familiar with Mikey Madison? Don’t worry, HollywoodLife presents you with five key facts about Mikey before she makes her debut in «Scream».
Mikey pursued a completely different career before acting. While she grew up in Los Angeles, Mikey was involved in competitive equestrian sports. But when she turned 15, everything changed. «Suddenly I became very interested in it», - she told Vulture in April 2019 when asked about her beginnings in acting. «I'm not sure what triggered it in my head, but it just happened. My dad is a big movie buff, so I think I inherited some of those traits». Mikey also explained that while no one in her family was involved in acting, she «met the right people along the way and got very lucky».
Mikey comes from a large family. «I have two older sisters in their 30s, a twin brother, and another brother», - she told InStyle in November 2016. «Right now, I live at home with two teenagers. We all have different personalities, and we definitely clash because of living together in a small space», - added the actress. One of Mikey’s sisters is married to a screenwriter, which, according to Women’s Wear Daily, inspired her to pursue acting.
Mikey’s first role was in the short film «Pension» in 2013, according to her IMDb page. Hailing from California, she starred in her first feature film «Lisa, Lisa, Skies of Gray» in 2015. Her next films were «Monster» and «Nostalgia» in 2018. Then Mikey landed a role in Quentin Tarantino’s «Once Upon a Time in Hollywood», where stars like Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margaret Qualley, Margot Robbie, Timothy Olyphant, Austin Butler, Dakota Fanning, Al Pacino, and others appeared. She played Sadie, a follower of the deadly Manson family. Mikey also voiced a candy barista in the animated film «The Addams Family». On television, she appeared in «Better Things» on FX (more on that below) and appeared in two episodes of «Imposters» on Bravo.
Mikey’s most notable role was Max Fox in «Better Things». She has been part of the show’s main cast since its premiere in 2016. Her character, Max, is the explosive and angry daughter of Sam Fox, played by Pamela Adlon. «Better Things» also starred Hannah Alligood, Olivia Edward, and Celia Imrie. The fifth and final season premieres on February 28.
Mikey talked about her love for playing Max in «Better Things» in her interview for InStyle. «I definitely gravitate towards characters with a lot of integrity, and it’s so important for me to work on shows that tell wonderful stories», - she explained. «I think you have to fall a little in love with the character you play because that way you can’t judge the decisions they make, which you have to play on screen, and that’s certainly the case with Max».
Mikey makes a very exciting debut in the «Scream» franchise. In an interview with The Movie Times, she said she loves horror movies and was a «big fan» of the first «Scream» movie. «One of the arguments the directors made to me was that they were trying to make it similar to the original. I just liked talking to them. I immediately had good chemistry with them. I was immediately drawn to it».
In «Scream 5», Mikey is joined by newcomers Melissa Barrera, Mason Gooding, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, and Dylan Minnette. Fans will have to watch the film to see if Mikey’s Amber and other new characters survive in «Scream 5»
