Sinclair Daniel

thumb Sinclair Daniel (born April 5, 1997) is an American actress. She is best known for playing Nella in The Other Black Girl. Quotes I was caught off guard when Parker makes the shift into understanding what she’s being asked to do—the pitfalls of that, the moral ambiguity surrounding it—and decides she’s going to keep going, even if she’s on rickety legs. It was surprising and exciting at the same time. You don’t want a character who goes, “Nope, I’m good. Bye. I’m not going to try that at all.” You know you’re in for the journey, and you’re probably going to stumble. That’s always interesting to watch. It was interesting. There were a lot of scenes where I was by myself, staring at an iPad that didn’t actually have anything on it. Then they’d call, “Action,” and you’d have to cue yourself into that realization, so taking my time was really helpful. It’s about realizing you already have all the right tools—maybe you’re just working on the wrong canvas. There’s always going to be somewhere you fit in, even if it doesn’t look the way you thought it would. I hope that when people watch Parker, they’re reminded to keep an open heart and an open mind, and to operate with grace within themselves. Don’t block your blessings—try things. Take risks, even if it leads to failure. In most cases, you’ll be allowed to try again. When we first started the show, we only had a couple of scripts. So what we see of Michelle and Parker is that they’re, at best, distant coworkers. They both look like they’re being held against their will whenever they have to speak to each other. As we went on, our showrunners and writers saw how Melissa and I interacted. They became this odd-couple pairing—two women who would never, under any circumstances, find themselves confiding in each other, and now may be the only two people they can trust. It’s enemies to lovers. There have been conversations. I know Thomas [Brandon] and Jennifer [Yale] have at least three or four different versions of every idea, so it could go in a lot of different directions. I’m excited to see whatever they choose. I’ve let it be known that I’d like to do some combat. I don’t know how that would work for Parker, but I also think it’d be fun to have a girl team-up episode. The men approach things very immediately and tactically, while the women take a step back and really think about it.
