Jasmin Savoy Brownis the scream queen we’ve been waiting for.
TheScreamactress, 28, told PEOPLE it was “exciting and humbling” to be the firstLGBTQwoman of color to become a final girl in the horror franchise as she hit the red carpet at Saturday’s 33rdGLAAD Media Awardsin Beverly Hills.
“It just felt right. All of these milestones that I get to be a part of, what makes them so exciting for me is it doesn’t feel like that big of a deal, because this is just who I am,” she explained. “So playing a queer woman of color is just playing a person like myself. There’s nothing that epic about me.”
“We just haven’t seen this in those roles very much, so it feels right and I want more of it. And it’s very humbling,” Brown added.
Shemade her debutin the franchise’s fifth installment, which premiered earlier this year, playing Mindy Meeks-Martin, a queer film nerd and niece of Randy Meeks (Jamie Kennedy), who appeared in bothScreamandScream 2. Paramount and Spyglass announced in February that anotherScreamsequelis officially in the works.
