Natasha Rothwell is a hidden gem of talent who really steals the spotlight no matter how big or small her role is. She's a high school drama teacher turned comedian and actress, and boy, does she add drama (in a good way!). Rothwell is widely known as being the hilarious best friend to Issa Dee (Issa Rae), Tiffany (Amanda Seales), and Molly (Yvonne Orji) on Insecure as the character Kelli, but her range goes beyond Kelli. You can also find Rothwell in movies and TV shows as a defensive administrator for the bullied in Love, Simon, giving you an outright full-belly laugh on sketch-style shows, and serving kid-friendly content as the famed Mommy Shark (IYKYK).
