Megan Stalter has solidified her status as a standout performer in the entertainment industry since her memorable catchphrase “Hi, gay!” Her breakout role in the acclaimed series Hacks showcased her impressive talent, but she is now stepping further into the spotlight in Netflix’s new series, Too Much, where she takes on her most substantial role to date as Jessica, an American who relocates to London after experiencing a tough breakup.
Known for her dramatic fashion choices, Stalter, alongside her long-time stylist Kat Typaldos, embraces eye-catching outfits that reflect her vibrant personality. In June, she made headlines by attending the Critics Choice Association Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema & Television, wearing a whimsical beauty-queen ensemble, complete with blue eyeshadow, a bouquet of red roses, and a sash declaring her as “Best Gay Actor.” Typaldos describes Stalter’s typical style as “chaotic” yet always grounded in a distinct theme.
In Too Much, Stalter leverages her position as the lead to explore new depths of camp and creativity. On the red carpet, she often embodies characters that spring from her imagination, whether representing a trendy LA intellectual or a nostalgic ‘90s supermodel. The synergy between Stalter and Typaldos allows for a dynamic and collaborative creative process, resulting in an evolving and engaging presentation of her public persona.
This combination of talent and extravagant style hints at an exciting trajectory for Stalter, marking her emergence as a multi-dimensional entertainer who isn’t afraid to embrace boldness in both her work and personal expression. With Too Much, audiences are likely to see her shine even brighter in the industry.
