With season two\u2019s filming already wrapped, Elle fans can\u2019t wait to see how the show\u2019s love triangle involving Elle (Lexi Minetree<\/span><\/a>), Miles (Jacob Moskovitz<\/span><\/a>) and Dustin (Zac Looker), plays out. However, some viewers seem more interested in Elle\u2019s chemistry with her classmate and friend, Liz, played by Gabrielle Policano.<\/div>\n

Liz is one of a few people who welcome Elle at her new high school after she and her family move from sunny California to grey Seattle. The two form a friendship quickly, and while Liz, a lesbian, develops feelings for another classmate, fans can\u2019t get enough of Minetree and Policano\u2019s undeniable on-screen chemistry.<\/p>\n

Gabrielle Policano, who uses she\/they pronouns, graduated from Boston University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in acting. Before joining the cast of Elle, they worked in various theatre productions.<\/p>\n

Policano made their on-screen debut in 2018 with a minor role in the TV movie Birr. They also starred in A24\u2019s Babygirl (2024) opposite Nicole Kidman and Antonio Banderas.<\/p>\n

Speaking to fashion magazine Num\u00e9ro earlier this month, the 24-year-old actor revealed that they loved Legally Blonde growing up and had \u201cprobably watched it upwards of 50 times\u201d as a kid.<\/p>\n

When they first learned about the prequel spin-off, they didn\u2019t think there would be a role for them, let alone considered auditioning for the show. \u201cAs 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\u2019t take lightly,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
