Gabriyèl Barlatier

Gabi Barlatier isn’t just another name you scroll past in the credits—she’s got this wild, magnetic presence that jumps right off the screen. Haitian-American, proud of it, and honestly, she’s been hustling harder than most. She put in the work at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts—yeah, the fancy one across the pond—and then sharpened her edges at Terry Knickerbocker Studios, which is where a bunch of serious actors get their chops. You’ve probably caught her face in something, whether you realized it or not. Netflix, Peacock, Apple TV, Amazon Prime—she’s popped up everywhere. And it’s not just TV: her films have landed at some heavy-hitter festivals like Sundance, Tribeca, Toronto Black Film Fest, and even caught the eye of The Student Academy Awards. That’s not a fluke. That’s talent plus grind. She’s not just hanging out on screens, though—she owns the stage, too. The Sanguine Theater, Goodly Frame Theater—she’s been there, done that, left a mark. Offstage, she’s that friend who’ll drag you to the best food spots in town, send you unsolicited plant care advice at 2am, and get way too excited about oat matcha lattes. She brings all those quirky, real-life vibes right into her work, giving her characters that extra bit of soul. Basically, Gabi’s the kind of artist who makes you want to root for her, both on camera and off.
