    Elle Fanning has been in Hollywood for so long and I’m so glad that she’s at a place now where she feels comfortable sharing the horrible experiences that she has had. Love her

    So much admiration for Devery Jacobs for correcting Sheryl about the language used to talk about indigenous peoples. It took guts to call that out on someone older and on a big public platform, and she did it with kindness and in service to education.

      I know she felt uncomfortable about it though. I saw her try to sip some water and calm herself down after! Those kind of interactions are panic inducing and they both handled it very well.

      Sheryl was absolutely the best, but I found Natasha a bit annoying, though, tbh. She came across kind of full of herself and just spoke without end, but without any of the substance of charm or insight that Sheryl had.

    These conversations are so important. Shout out to Devery Jacobs for speaking up and correcting people. Such a huge fan of Sheryl lee Ralph, and her response is exactly why!!!

    • NinjaGamer13
      NinjaGamer13 3 months ago +9

      No, what Devery did was awful. Going out of her way to disrespectfully “correct” a much older, more experienced, wiser actress who is clearly very sweet and intelligent out of an arrogant sense of entitlement is nothing to be proud of. Sheryl did indeed handle it with incredible grace, though, so props to her.

    • Ron Ne
      Ron Ne 3 months ago +123

      @NinjaGamer13 what would of been a respectful way to word it?

    • NinjaGamer13
      NinjaGamer13 3 months ago +1

      @ew I’m younger than Devery is bro 😂 I’m just not an idiot who can’t tell the difference between haughty disrespect and productive communication

    • NinjaGamer13
      NinjaGamer13 3 months ago +6

      @Ron Ne She could start by not needlessly going to the extreme lengths she did just to try to excessively and publicly embarrass Sheryl as much as possible with it. But first of all, to make an issue out of the use of that term in this context in the first place is petty and pedantic, especially considering the generational difference between the two that should be graciously accepted with understanding
      But if she absolutely had to “correct” Sheryl, the polite way to have done it would have been to quite simply use her preferred term a couple times in direct reply to Sheryl, perhaps even quoting Sheryl but with her preferred term in place of “Indians,” and then, if she really felt the need and had the boldness to do more than that, she could have spoken with Sheryl privately about it after they were done filming more directly.
      What Devery instead decided to do was be a perfect stereotype of an arrogant, hypersensitive millennial.

  • Briana McGinty
    Briana McGinty 3 months ago +2600

    Props to Ayo for saying she was “looking for a check.” I feel like so many people would look down on her for saying that because acting is looked at as an art instead of a job. But at the end of the day acting is her JOB. And what she said about if the pilot was to not be picked up, how was she going to return to the writers room, was so true. Because as we all know, writers don’t get paid enough.

    • T

      ESPECIALLY being a writer and stand up AND MINORITY

    • Booms35
      Booms35 3 months ago +62

      It's typically the celebrities who already have enough money to live comfortably for the rest of their lives that are the ones who worry more about the artistic side of acting. It makes sense for actors like Ayo who are recently successful to be more worried about the paycheck.

    • Z3RO
      Z3RO 3 months ago +7

      ​@Booms35 I think both groups, especially the young and upcoming actors so care about the artistic value of acting imo.

    • VoodooMcVee
      VoodooMcVee 3 months ago +11

      Of course, making art is always a job. Painting was van Gogh's job, carving sculptures was Michelangelo's job, writing music was Mozart's job. It's what they did to put food on their tables (very little food in van Gogh's case).

    As a teenage indigenous girl, I could not admire Devery more. Reservation Dogs holds such a deep, important place in my heart not only because it is filmed in my hometown and recognizes the way I and many of my friends grew up, but because it's not often the reality of our culture is presented in such a large way. I think it's so inspiring to watch Devery and the rest of the cast shed light on not only my experiences but many, many other indigenous teens across the world. Because of Rez Dogs, it reminds me that I am not defined by where I came from and how I look.

    • Yes Sirree
      Yes Sirree 3 months ago +1

      That is why as indigenous ppl, you should stop expecting hollywood or whyte ppl to make these types of shows/movies for you or expect race-swapping for diversity points. We are aching for originality. And if you want ppl to watch your culture on screen, then make it. =)

    • Brynn Cameron
      Brynn Cameron 3 months ago +21

      @Yes Sirree that’s exactly why reservation dogs was made, us as natives had to create that representation for ourselves. hence why there’s all indigenous actors, writers, producers working on that show, not to mention the several other projects by other native film makers currently in the works :)

    It’s so fascinating to observe the difference between actor roundtables and actress roundtables. Both are extremely respectful and intelligent but I can’t help but notice the pure joy that emits from a group of women who are there to share stories and passion for their craft. The random jokes that make the entire table erupt with laughter reminds me I’m grateful to be a woman.
    There’s something about women of all different backgrounds getting to praise each other while also receiving praise for their outstanding work that warms my heart.

    Truly one of the best roundtables I’ve seen thus far. It’s always an interesting watch when it’s the women’s roundtable because their issues and struggles are completely different from the men’s: Natasha’s account of how people find it shocking that she can do it all but would not bat an eye if it was a Harvey Keitel or how Jenna’s assertiveness could be misconstrued as problematic. But each of these women have such great wisdom and knowledge and self-awareness about the industry that is so inspiring and powerful to watch. And I love the addition of Indigenous American actress Devery Jacobs whose presence and knowledge is powerful in itself.

      Freddy Feliciano 3 months ago +255

      Jenna was too busy listening to speak much but when she does speak, she makes a lot of great points, especially about being heard in the industry, which if she did not put her foot down, the show "Wednesday" would not be as successful as it was.

    The conversation about Devery battling with trying to represent Native Americans a "right" way but also reminding herself that she herself *is* the accurate representation is so relatable to me. Like even as people who aren't actors, it's so easy to doubt yourself in a job or position and think you have to fit a certain mold even when no one's necessarily told you that.

      Yessss and she was phenomenal “The Girl From Plainville”. I hate how no one talks about her performance in that show. She was literally killer!

    Natasha Lyonne saying she’s playing an ageless character…. Honestly so fits. Poker face is so fantastic, I never ever wondered what age her character is. I was just fascinated by the character and wanted to hang out with her 😂

    Jenna is the most mature 20 year old ever. She is so kind and humble. I’ve never heard her be selfish or over the top. Adore her, she’s doing such beautiful things.

    I love how when Sheryl Lee spoke, everybody gave full attention and respected the OG in the room. Everybody came and dropped gems. And I’m a huge fan of Jenna so this was a treat for me.

    "Fame frees people up to be exactly who they are. EXACTLY who they are." Sheryl Lee Ralph really is an icon. And she is 100% correct.

    I love watching these roundtables, because they select voices that seem to resonate with one another, while finding actors who come from totally different walks of life, approaches to the industry, and perceptions of their contributions and roles within it. The younger women here have really inherited a much more inclusive and receptive profession (not to say that has entirely changed for the better, but there has been significant positive change), so it's refreshing to hear that they have greater say in their boundaries, the artistic process, and even have a hand in the productions themselves. Particularly having notable directors and fellow actors elevating them and empowering them to ask for things that their predecessors were never allotted is nice to hear.
    My one last takeaway from all of this is that I'm missing out on a Larry David Marvel film. That idea of him being continually annoyed and inconvenienced by the existence and intervention of superheroes and villains would be hilarious to watch. Feige! Get on it!

  • 22knives

    I feel like this is my opinion every time a new round table comes out, but this is my favorite. I am SO impressed with these women. I admire Natasha and Sheryl Lee Ralph, two women who have the wisdom of experience and the humility to match. I was SO intrigued by Jenna’s eloquence and strength, I can tell she’s fighting to be taken seriously and she is doing exactly what works for her. Devery impressed me with the graceful way she corrected Sheryl Lee -who responded beautifully-in service of community and education. If we could have more cross-generational discussions like that we might actually have some peace! It was super surprising to see Elle frankly discuss some of the ills of the industry especially as a former child actor. Last thought: maybe it’s because I have a bias toward women led discussions but I felt like Lacey Rose came alive during this discussion. I was hanging on to EVERY SINGLE WORD. Excellent content. This is exactly why i subscribed.

    randomly played this video but stayed for DEVERY 💖 ahh the representation YOURE giving to all the native people from Alaska to Argentina and all the Americas is so big that you can’t imagine. Hopefully in the future native Americans are even more in the limelight and can’t wait to see what Devery has in store for the future. 🧡🧡🧡 also to Jenna Ortega who is also half indigenous from Mexico and Puerto Rico 💚🧡❤️

    All the amazing actresses and the topics they touched (being a woman, being from different races, how people percieve them, etc) were really interesting to listen to.
    I haven't watched a full interview without skipping a few minutes in a while and this one felt like I needed another hour of just them talking.

      @NinjaGamer13 I'm sorry.. What? Entitled? Petty? You could not be any more incorrect, especially going out of your way to hate on Devery on every single comment applauding the interaction between Sheryl and Devery. So I think you, my friend, are the one who is being Entitled, Petty, and Disrespectful.

      @bruh vibes Yes, exactly? Although indigenous is a broad term she made it clear she was talking about Native American’s. Jenna is Puerto Rican and Latina, so what Devery was specifically talking about did not apply to her. Also? Jenna is completely capable of talking about her own Culture, Ethnicity, etc and everybody knows that. She takes every chance she can to advocate for Latin people, and people of all colors. It’s not just about Jenna here. Sheryl should be corrected, and it’s not her fault because she didn’t know. She probably grew up learning the term was okay, because at one point it was but things have changed. Devery did the best thing possible.

    Prior to watching, I was only familiar with Jenna and Natacha (both of whom I adore). But this group of women is brilliant! I really enjoyed listening to them bounce off of each other. Something about listening to women talk about being a woman in the world is very cathartic. We’re all having the same experience in different fonts.
