Odessa Sykes
Biography
Odessa Sykes is an actress whose screen credits include Now You See Me, Breakout Kings, Moms Night Out and Snitch. The youngest of six children, she was eight and living in Shreveport, Louisiana, when she declared at a Woolworth lunch counter that she would become an actress one day. Roughly three decades later she filmed her first movie in Shreveport, and the catering was set up in that same Woolworth building; she saw the coincidence as a sign that the life she had imagined for herself was the one she was meant to lead. Sykes has spoken of her gift for moving between characters, embracing each one she plays rather than treating them as separate selves. She has said she loves the business of acting and plans to stay in it.
