Danger Force casts Nickelodeon's first transgender actor in a live-action series

Variety

Sasha A. Cohen, a 13-year-old trans actor, will guest on the June 19 episode with his twin sister Natalie R Cohen. “I want Sasha to see his own power as an actor and as a human,” said Danger Force star Michael D. Cohen, who launched the Trans Youth Acting Challenge in December to help trans and nonbinary youth break into the business. “I want him to feel proud of his work and feel real confident in himself in every aspect and to know that he will help change kids’ lives by being the first kid of trans experience on Nickelodeon in live action.” Michael D. Cohen, no relation to Sasha A. Cohen, will direct the young trans actor's episode.
