"Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina" Casts Non-Binary Actor
Lachlan Watson plays Susie, an LGBT character on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The Netflix show is being praised for breaking barriers for the LGBT community. Watson says they now identify as non-binary but formerly identified as trans-male. They believe their experience is helping them develop Susie’s character on the show. According to the producers of the show, Susie will be making a transformation next season.
Casting a non-binary person to play an LGBT character allows them to bring their lived experience to the character. This gives a person from the community to their story from themselves. People are praising this as a win when other projects have failed to cast a cisgender person to play a transgender person. Watson says people have thanked them for taking on this role that they can relate to. Although Susie’s transformation has not been revealed, the actor’s identity gives LGBT viewers the ability to see themselves more accurately represented.
