Child Actress Lands Non-Binary Role: A Proud Moment for Mom

In a heartwarming update, renowned actress Jamie Collins is beaming with pride as her eldest child, 12-year-old Riley, secures a significant acting opportunity. Following in Jamie’s illustrious footsteps, Riley has been cast in a new Amazon series titled With Love, where they will play a character that reflects their non-binary identity.

Riley, who uses they/them pronouns, will take on a recurring role that emphasizes authentic representation. The show’s creator, Morgan Pierce, expressed excitement on social media about having Riley join the cast, reminiscing about their first meeting when Riley was just a baby. Jamie couldn’t contain her emotions, stating, “This news made me tear up.”

Fans are equally thrilled about Riley’s achievement, with many praising the importance of representation in media. “That’s fantastic! I can’t wait to see Riley on screen; they will undoubtedly shine and inspire many,” one fan commented. Another added, “Congratulations to Riley! This is an incredible opportunity for them to represent other youth.”

While not every child receives the same level of support as Riley, their role has the potential to educate audiences about non-binary and queer identities. Jamie shared that she sought Riley’s consent before discussing their identity on her podcast, emphasizing the importance of visibility. “Riley said, ‘I don’t mind if you talk about my identity; that would be cool.’ So, I went ahead and discussed it on the podcast,” Jamie explained.

In a conversation with Health magazine, Jamie revealed that even some family members needed guidance in understanding Riley’s identity. “My mom is eager to learn more about pronouns, and there are great resources like What’s Your Pronoun? Beyond He & She by Dennis Baron. I told her, ‘You don’t have to fully understand it, but respect is key.’”

While Jamie is incredibly proud of Riley’s burgeoning acting career, it’s evident that her greatest pride lies in their ability to be their authentic self.
