Characters in any series or movies give the story live-action and bring the content of the story into reality. Lately, characters who are oversized or heavy tend to give a humorous touch to the story but there have been some important characters, and plus-size actors or actresses have given them an iconic touch. Now the roles that were goofed up by plus-size people can be enacted by any other person and some major characters are now given to them.
Here are some the most iconic characters played by plus size actors on Netflix-
Danielle Brooks
Danielle Brooks is one of the best heroines when rom-com are thought of. She is the most amazing actresses in Hollywood and has done memorable characters in the film and television industry.
Most people know her from Orange is the New Black and Master of None on Netflix, but people have demanded to see her in some more romantic movies, chasing her prince charming. She is an extremely talented actress.
2. Dascha Polanco
Dascha Polanco was also seen in Orange is the New Black on Netflix and we would love to see her in some romantic-comedy. Polanco has done some iconic roles like in American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace, it would be interesting to see her in some romance movies.
3. Gabourey Sidibe
Gabourey Sidibe did get her groove on in a 2015 episode of Empire on Netflix but her performance in Precious. She was nominated for Oscar for her performance and people have demanded to see her in some comedy or rom-com. When asked if she would be doing some love and romance on screen, she gave a funny response.
She also told E! News that she felt “sexy and beautiful” during the scene, adding, “I keep hearing that people are ‘hating on it…I’m not sure how anyone could hate on love but that’s okay. You may have your memes. Honestly, I’m at work too busy to check Twitter anyway.”
4. Loretta Devine
If you have seen Waiting to Exhale, which means you are from the 90s, then this iconic scene between Loretta Devine and Gregory Hines, was the highlight of the show. But has she done any of those roles? Her arc in Waiting to Exhale was pretty much romantic but people will love to see Devine in another role where she gets her romance on.
5. Raven-Symoné
The iconic Disney show That’s So Raven is why she is seen on this list. She was often body shamed and also was put on some extra fabric just because she was bigger than the other girls. Raven-Symoné is currently starring as an older version of Raven Baxter on Disney Channel’s Raven’s Home. She’s a divorcée raising her kids while dealing with her and her son’s psychic powers. But why can’t Raven-Symoné can play a character who is looking for love in New York?
6. Amber Riley
Amber Riley is also seen in many roles but is keeping it low nowadays. She killed it in NBC’s live production of The Wiz, but she’s been lying low ever since. She is the best singer from Glee the props she deserves to see more in movies and series.
