Not Only Are the Teenage Bounty Hunters "Twins" Not Related, There's a Huge Age Gap

-

Netflix's upcoming comedy Teenage Bounty Hunters centers on a pair of twins, Sterling and Blair, who team up with an established bounty hunter to track down bad guys and collect the rewards. So are the actresses actually twins in real life, or is this just a case of really good casting?

Although they certainly look like they could be twins in real life, actresses Maddie Phillips and Anjelica Bette Fellini aren't even related at all, and on top of that, there's a surprisingly big age gap between them too. Phillips is 25 years old and Fellini is a full decade younger at age 15! It's rare to have actual teenagers playing teenage characters, so Fellini is one of very few who manage it - especially playing opposite an older co-star.

The age gap also means that Phillips and Fellini's resumes are somewhat different so far. For Fellini, she's still very much a newcomer to the business. Her most recognizable role so far has been on the superhero drama The Gifted, where she played Rebecca, aka "Twist." Her only other credits are the movies Sid Is Dead and The French Dispatch.

Phillips, on the other hand, has acting roles going back to 2013. For the most part, she's had one-time guest roles on established shows, including spots on Lucifer, iZombie, and Supernatural. She's also popped up in minor roles in a handful of made-for-TV movies over the past few years, such as the Hallmark franchise Signed, Sealed, Delivered and several Christmas movies. Her biggest role so far is probably the short-lived SyFy series Ghost Wars, where she played Randeen for five episodes.

Teenage Bounty Hunters is the latest teen programming from Netflix, although it's definitely pretty different from the "normal" teen comedies you're used to! The cast also includes Kadeem Hardison as the bounty hunter expert they team up with, Mackenzie Astin and Virginia Williams as their parents, Myles Evans as Blair's love interest Miles Taylor, Spencer House as Luke Creswell, Sterling's boyfriend, and Cliff "Method Man" Smith as a rival bounty hunter, Terrance Coin. The action comedy is scheduled to drop its entire first season on Aug. 14.

The Circle: Meet the Real "Emily" - aka Jack's Catfish Persona

-

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
