Hunter Schafer may be best known for her role as Jules on "Euphoria," but she's also a talented model who has walked for Dior, Miu Miu, Vera Wang, and Helmut Lang. Speaking to The New York Times about trans representation in Hollywood, she said: "I think it's always preferable that a trans person plays a trans person — one, because there's enough cisgender actors in Hollywood, and two, because trans people can bring levels of experience to the trans experience that they might be portraying. A cisgender actor might be able to conceptualize and get it down to a T but won't have the experiences in their back pocket that they can bring forward to use for that character. Trans people deserve to see themselves represented on their own TV screens, not being inhabited by people who might not completely understand them."
