That said, she does point out certain acting choices she made to bring a level of authenticity to Jules. “Because when I think of an activist I think of a community organizer who’s doing that every day of their lives and working with the community, and for this job I have been inserted in a very cisgender, very white, very straight world that is Hollywood, and I don’t know how much that does for the community. “I think the term activism has been sort of watered down,” she says.

While Zendaya is the big name on the project - and billed as the frontrunner - audiences have quickly identified Schafer as the reason to keep coming back each week (the season’s fifth episode premieres on Sunday). She was gearing up to study fashion design at Central Saint Martins in London when her agents at Elite called to say HBO was interested in her for the role of Jules in “Euphoria,” which stars Zendaya alongside a who’s-who of rising Hollywood stars, from Sydney Sweeney and Maude Apatow to Alexa Demie and Algee Smith. “My plan was to model and pay the rent and then intern with designers and work on the other side of the industry however I could,” she recalls, “but then it just got to be too much, especially with casting, fashion week and also working for a fashion designer.” See Also: ‘Stranger Things’ Star Maya Hawke Is Done Resisting the Family Business She also interned with Vaquera before modeling took over full-time.
