Deborah Ayorinde

Deborah Olayinka Ayorinde (born 13 August 1987) is a British-Nigerian actress raised in the United States. She is known for her role in the Amazon Prime horror series Them. Quotes Yes, they’re fighting for it, but it’s not the amount of money that’s the big deal. They’re more concerned about the family drama and who’s doing this and who’s sleeping with who. Wealth is not something that they’re uncomfortable with or embarrassed by – you get to see different types of wealth. I was born in London and after some family trauma, moved to America with my mum and sisters, but I recently moved back to London. What a story like this can bring up in a person is a longing for belonging, which I really understood in the character, just kind of trying to figure out where you belong. There’s something about seeing rich people behaving badly – it’s just really exciting. When you see ridiculously wealthy people going through things that ordinary people go through, it emphasises the fact that we all get jealous, angry, sad and happy. It makes people feel less removed. I draw most of my inspiration from real-life people and their real-life stories. With this particular character, because her story is so similar to mine, I didn’t need to draw from anyone too far away. My older sister works in tech and worked in corporate America for the longest time. My portrayal of Nina is inspired a lot by her. She’s just so business savvy and so smart. She’s just such a boss, to be honest. With any performance, you need chemistry. It doesn’t matter whether you’re playing a lover or a friend or a foe; if you have chemistry with the person you’re playing with it makes the performance so much better. It’s a partner dance, after all. Even if you’re combat fighting, it’s still a partner dance.
