Lola Petticrew: The Actor Who Would Rather Fight Power Than Be Famous

Award-winning actor Lola Petticrew is not interested in fame. They are focused on using their platform for change. Petticrew, star of shows like *Say Nothing* and *Trespasses*, prefers activism to celebrity. "Wouldn’t it be lovely if I could shut up?" they joke. But they refuse to stay silent about government inaction on important issues. Now 30, Petticrew feels stronger than ever. "I feel like I’m just coming into myself," they say. "All the shit starts falling away and what you care about becomes more concentrated." They are currently in New York filming a new TV series called *Furious*. The show is created by Elizabeth Meriwether. Petticrew's character is a survivor of childhood sex trafficking who seeks revenge. For Petticrew, personal morals matter more than a glamorous lifestyle. They believe in making powerful television that has a real impact.
