All about the LOLs! Skye Townsend is stepping out of character to share some personal facts with Us Weekly.
The A Black Lady Sketch Show actress, 29, has been taking the world by storm since being cast on the HBO hit in 2021. The sketch comedy series — which is executive produced by Issa Rae — is set in a limitless magical reality full of dynamic women and hilarious celebrity guests.Townsend, for her part, recurred as various characters throughout season 2 but was promoted to a series regular the following year —”Season 3, episode 3, that’s when I really came into my own as a cast member,” she exclusively tells Us.
The third season, which premiered in April 2022, featured nearly 100 characters in just six episodes — and more than 15 of them were played by Townsend.“It’s really interesting going to work every day and playing a new person because your voice changes, your mannerisms change … it’s like you show up as a new person daily,” the California native shared with WrapWomen following the season 3 premiere. “As an artist, I’m constantly stretching and just trying to challenge myself to go even further than I did the day before.”For Townsend, it’s about sending a very specific message to Hollywood. “I hope that when they see the show, they go, ‘Oh, wow, Black woman can have range,’” she told the outlet. “It doesn’t have to just be the stereotypical friend who’s in the corner … I can be just as witty and nerdy and strange as a Mike Myers or a Jim Carrey.”In order to view the video, please allow Manage CookiesMyers, 59, and Carrey, 61, are just two of the many icons she hopes to be compared to throughout her career.
