Nesta Cooper

Nesta Cooper, born December 11, 1993, out in Mississauga, Toronto, Ontario—she’s one of those faces you might double-take on screen and think, “Wait, where have I seen her before?” Oh, right, because she’s been popping up in all sorts of places lately. Honestly, she’s got this cool vibe; you can’t really pin her down to one type of role. You might know her best from “See” (2019), that wild post-apocalyptic Apple TV+ show where everyone’s blind and society’s totally flipped on its head. Nesta plays Haniwa, and man, she brings so much fire to that role—sharp, stubborn, a total risk-taker. She’s not just eye candy either; she’s got real depth, making you care about every reckless choice Haniwa makes. Then there’s “The Edge of Seventeen” (2016). That one’s a coming-of-age flick, and Nesta slides right in with a role that’s both relatable and totally heartbreaking at times. She’s not the main character, but she nails every scene she’s in—just enough to make you root for her and wish she had a bit more screen time. Fast forward, she’s got “Dope Thief” (2025) in the pipeline, which honestly, sounds like it’s gonna be a trip. Not much is out yet, but with her name attached, you know it’s worth keeping on your radar. Plus, she writes too? Multi-talented, for real. She’s definitely not just another pretty face in the Hollywood crowd.
