Gabrielle Policano, who uses she/they pronouns, graduated from Boston University with a bachelor’s degree in acting. Before joining the cast of Elle, they worked in various theatre productions.
Policano made their on-screen debut in 2018 with a minor role in the TV movie Birr. They also starred in A24’s Babygirl (2024) opposite Nicole Kidman and Antonio Banderas.
Speaking to fashion magazine Numéro earlier this month, the 24-year-old actor revealed that they loved Legally Blonde growing up and had “probably watched it upwards of 50 times” as a kid.
When they first learned about the prequel spin-off, they didn’t think there would be a role for them, let alone considered auditioning for the show. “As an actor, you get so used to rejection being the norm. Getting to play a queer musician in such a beloved IP is a gift I don’t take lightly,” they said.
