'Quiet Place' Star Millicent Simmonds Joins 'Close Up' Pilot From Freeform
Millicent Simmonds is headed to television!
The 16-year-old Quiet Place actress is set to star in Freeform’s new pilot, Close Up, according to Deadline.
Close Up is set in a seemingly normal suburban town in Centreville, New Jersey, and follows high school student Rachel Guyer, who is on a mission to expose the truth about her hometown and turn her community inside out.
Millicent‘s role as Jen is described as “self-possessed and funny and tends to retreat into a rich imaginative inner world. Due to her impaired hearing, she is a natural observer and knows her town like the back of her hand. One to normally avoid attention at all costs, she takes a courageous step forward in the aftermath of a recent trauma.”
