Halston Sage is a hot and talented actress whose radiant beauty and magnetic screen presence have turned heads since her early days in Hollywood, boasting striking blonde waves, piercing blue eyes, and a toned, athletic 5’5″ silhouette shaped by her high school cheerleading days rooting for the Los Angeles Lakers. She has garnered widespread attention for her exceptional performances in acclaimed series such as “The Orville” (2017–2019), where she embodied the super-strong, no-nonsense alien security officer Alara Kitan with a perfect blend of fierce action-hero grit and wry humor across three seasons on FOX, and “Prodigal Son” (2019–2021), in which she delivered a tour-de-force as the ambitious, quick-tempered journalist Ainsley Whitly, navigating family dysfunction and dark secrets in the network’s addictive psychological thriller. Born and raised in the sun-soaked sprawl of Los Angeles, California, on May 10, 1993, Sage’s natural flair for acting emerged early, fueled by her modeling gigs and cheer squad energy that translated seamlessly into her breakout role as the bubbly, relatable teen Grace King on Nickelodeon’s “How to Rock” (2012), marking her swift ascent from child performer to versatile leading lady. Her career advances have been meteoric, earning her a spot on Variety’s Top 10 Stars to Watch for her chameleon-like range—from the snarky sorority sister Lacey in the raunchy hit comedy “Neighbors” (2014) opposite Seth Rogen, to the quirky high schooler Amber in the YA adaptation “Paper Towns” (2015), and even voicing the doomed camp counselor Emma in the interactive horror thriller “The Quarry” (2022)—all while balancing indie risks and mainstream appeal. Off-screen, Sage’s grounded vibe shines through her advocacy for animal welfare, her love for adventure sports like surfing SoCal waves, and her unapologetic embrace of a low-key life amid Tinseltown chaos, proving she’s as effortlessly cool in real life as she is on the red carpet.
Not only has she established herself as a captivating on-screen presence, but she has boldly ventured into the realm of filmmaking as an executive producer on the riotously funny independent rom-com The List (2023), where she not only helmed the vision but also stole scenes as Abby, the frazzled bride-to-be whose bachelorette weekend devolves into a hilariously disastrous quest to tick off a scandalous “fantasy list”—earning festival buzz and streaming acclaim for its sharp wit and Sage’s comic timing. This leap highlights her multifaceted talents and producer savvy, with more passion projects in the works that champion feel-good chaos. She’s next tackling the sharp-shooting Suki in an untitled Amazon comedy Western series (upcoming), a dusty romp blending quick wits and quicker draws with a killer comedic ensemble, and joining the bubbly ensemble of Sony’s The Pet Nup (upcoming, production 2025), a tail-wagging rom-com about exes in a pet-custody battle sparking hilarious hijinks—directed by Elaine del Valle and co-starring Jaime Pressly. Adding eclectic flair, Sage has charmed music videos too: as the sassy heartbreaker Sadie in Victoria Justice’s “Beggin’ on Your Knees” (2011) from the Victorious era, and the sun-kissed love interest in Zac Brown Band’s “Loving You Easy” (2015), where her chemistry turned simple clips into vibe-packed daydreams, hinting at future soundtrack forays.
