Talisa Garcia has joined the cast of Lucasfilm's 'Willow' series.
Chilean-born English actress Talisa Garcia is making history as the first openly trans woman to star in a Lucasfilm production. Garcia has been cast in the upcoming Disney+ series and reboot Willow, where a princess sets off on a mission to search for her twin brother.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Garcia told The Independent in a 2019 interview that she was hoping to one day have a role as a parent on-screen, and that "when you cast a transgender woman who happens to be a mother, people will start looking at it for what it is: normal." The announcement of Garcia’s casting comes shortly after backlash erupted against Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s response to Florida’s newly passed “Don’t Say Gay” bill, legislation that bans discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in primary school classrooms.
