Olivia DeFilippo
Olivia DeFilippo (influencer/Cosplayer) chats with Dave & Elora about what does Star Wars mean to her! She shares how she got into Star Wars Cosplay with Hera (Rebels), Bo-Katan (Mandalorian) & Princes Leia (A New Hope), the importance of fan community, the impact of seeing The Force Awakens for the first time, the depth of character development in Rebels & of course her Five with the Force!
Our guest today is an actor and singer from New York City. She has appeared in Disneyland Paris as a Character & Parade Performer. Just this past February, she made her 54 Below debut in the cabaret UNFunny Girl, and is currently in rehearsals as a Mainstage performer for Disney Cruise Line. But when she’s not performing, she’s a content creator with a following on TikTok of over 40 thousand. And as a massive Star Wars fan, she cosplays too, recreating such iconic characters as Hera, Bo-Katan and Princess Leia. Please give a warm “Hello There” to Olivia DeFilippo!
