‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ Star Maya Erskine on Playing a Grown-Up After ‘Pen15’: ‘I’m So Much More Comfortable When I Don’t Have to Look Pretty’
Erskine stars with Donald Glover on Amazon Prime Video's new 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' adaptation
“I was so used to playing a 13-year-old with a bowl cut where no one would even glance my way,” says Erskine, speaking from the L.A. home she shares with her partner Michael Angarano and their baby son. She is best known for portraying a teenage version of herself on Hulu’s Emmy-nominated “ Pen15,” where she reenacted the pains and joys of adolescence opposite comedy partner Anna Konkle.
