Now that Haleigh's first acting role is officially under her belt with the Snapchat series, she's adding to her résumé with another action thriller project. The Twitch streamer is next set to play Daniela in The Plane, which wrapped filming in Puerto Rico shortly before the Action Royale premiere.
Daniela is the daughter of a commercial pilot named Brodie Torrance (played by Gerard Butler, also producing), whose plane is threatened after an emergency landing.
While working alongside the 300 star could be an intimidating prospect for any seasoned actor, let alone a relative newcomer, Haleigh said that her on-screen dad, who was an absolutely "wonderful person" to work with, made her feel comfortable right away. The two bonded over getting into acting "late" (Haleigh started going on auditions when she was 20, while Gerard didn't become an actor until his mid-20s).
"He's really such a wonderful person to be around," Haleigh said about working with The Phantom of the Opera star. "It's so awesome growing and admiring an amazing actor like Gerard Butler, and then to work with him and see that he's such a sweet, sweet, human being as well."
Before Haleigh makes her big screen debut in the upcoming film, you can catch her in her Snap Original series.
Action Royale will debut on Snapchat on Oct. 9. New episodes come out every other day on the app. You can subscribe to the series here.
