Niya Pope, a quiet girl from the forgotten borough of Staten Island, is making strides in the acting world. Niya’s love for acting began as a child watching TCM and 90’s sitcoms with her grandmother, where storytelling first captured her imagination. Now studying at AMDA in Los Angeles, she continues to develop her craft on screen. Niya is obsessed with exploring complex, psychologically layered characters, and she strives to create performances that are compelling, nuanced, and unforgettable.
