Misha Osherovich Is Slaying Monsters And The Binary
The Girl In The Woods, it was truly like a dream coming true for the nonbinary actor. “It’s one of those things where, as an actor, you read it and you go, ‘this can’t be real life’,” they revealed to The Advocate, adding, “I couldn’t contain the feels…I felt so seen.” It was as if the character had been custom-written just for them, they felt. “We talk about wanting to feel seen and represented, but I actually don’t know that before reading this script in particular, I felt such a singular...moment of feeling seen.
That’s what it feels like.”Their character, Nolan, is one of the three leads on Girl, and like Osherovich they’re nonbinary; although in Nolan’s case, they’re still working on being comfortable in their gender identity — as well.
