Tommy Dorfman has always been hungry for more. Born in Atlanta, she began her rise to fame as one of the breakout stars of the high-school-suicide series ’13 Reasons Why,’ playing Ryan Shaver. It was just the kind of role — a secondary gay on a controversial Netflix series — that could, and did, boost her into the mainstream. Since the second season dropped in 2018, she picked up roles in ‘Jane the Virgin,’ the Lifetime series ‘American Princess,’ and an episode of ‘Love, Victor’ and she made her stage debut in Jeremy O. Harris’s Off Broadway play ‘Daddy.’
The pandemic’s lockdown gave her the space to become herself at last: the “It” girl, whom everyone is talking about, or something close to it. The paparazzi have tracked her movements with BFF Kaia Gerber, and caught her cuddling up with Jacob Elordi and holding hands with Lucas Hedges. She also served as a bridesmaid in Lena Dunham’s wedding, right next to Taylor Swift. And now she has a shoe collaboration, too. “I get to sort of Build-A-Bear my life, and that’s really fab,” she says. Find her whole conversation with @bcolyar at the link in bio 💗
