Who is Alisha Boe?

Alisha Ilhaan Bo is a 21-year-old Norwegian-American actress with the stage name Alisha Boe.

She was born in Olso, Norway on March 6, 1997, to a Somali father and a Norweigan mother.

Later, she moved to Los Angeles with her mother at the age of seven following her mom's marriage with an American man.

Alisha dropped out of high school to pursue a career in acting and made her debut in the industry at 200 as Lisa Swan in the horror film Amusement.

Also, she portrayed Laci in He's On My Mind in 2009, Tara in Paranormal Activity 4 in 2012, Tracy McCoy in Modern Family in 2014 and Brynn Hendry in Extant.

The star was the first actress with Somali origin to hold a leading role in an American film since fashion model Iman.

Who does Alisha Boe play in 13 Reason’s Why?

In 2017, Alisha took on the role of Jessica Davis in Netflix hit 13 Reason’s Why.

She plays a student who starts attending Liberty High at the same time as the leading character Hannah, as his dad's job in the Air Force means they move pretty often.

Jessica is dating Justin and, in a devastating storyline, ends up getting raped by Bryce after her boyfriend leaves her drunk and unconscious in a bedroom during a party.

The unspeakable act occurred when Bryce entered the room while Jessica was passed out, not knowing that Hannah was hiding in the bedroom.

The second season of the series saw Jessica try to come to terms with the traumatic event and deal with Bryce spreading lies about what really happened.

Alisha was in fact in Shawn Mendes's music video for the song entitled Lost in Japan.

The video saw the famous 19-year-old singer travel through Japan as he falls in love with a girl.

The end of the video sees Shawn decide to get out of the elevator where Jessica gets off, suggesting he has decided to pursue her.
