VanderWaal made her first foray into acting when she debuted inDisney+’s filmStargirl, which began streaming last spring.
“I readStargirlwhen I was 12 onAmerica’s Got Talent,” she said in an interview withEntertainment Weeklyin 2019. “Someone sent it to me and thought I’d be good for the role because they knew that a movie was being made. I was not ready for the role yet and I don’t even think they were ready for casting.”
“Years later, it got back to me again and I just sent in a video, I talked to Julia Hart the director and then I met Graham [Verchere, her costar who plays Leo Borlock] and we made the movie,” she said.
