Biography
Hunter Schafer (born December 31, 1998) is an American actress, model and transgender rights activist. Born in Trenton, New Jersey, and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, Schafer was assigned male at birth and transitioned as a child. She came to public attention after joining a 2016 lawsuit against North Carolina's Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act, a so-called "bathroom bill" which prevented transgender people from using public bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity. For her activism, she was named to Teen Vogue's "21 Under 21" list in 2017. Schafer has studied watercolour painting and clothing design. In 2017, she began work as a fashion model for various brands. Schafer initially planned to attend an arts college to further her studies in clothing design, but instead decided to transition to acting after being cast in the HBO teen drama series Euphoria (2019–2026). Her role as transgender high school student Jules Vaughn, and her co-writing credit on an episode of the series, garnered her critical praise. Schafer has since starred in the films The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) and Cuckoo (2024), and had minor roles in Kinds of Kindness (2024) and the English dub of the Japanese film Belle (2021). Schafer has continued to model after entering the acting industry, serving as a brand ambassador for Shiseido Makeup, Prada, and Mugler.
