Video: WNBA's Angel Reese Says She's Interested in Acting, Wants to Be in Movies

Angel Reese could be coming to a theater near you.

"I would love to act," the Chicago Sky rookie said during Thursday's episode of her podcast (24:45 mark). "I want to be in movies, yeah. One day."

Reese first became a household name when she starred at LSU and led the Tigers to a national championship in 2023 and Elite Eight in 2024. Her and Caitlin Clark helped bring unprecedented popularity to women's college basketball, and she was a headliner in the 2024 WNBA draft that drew record ratings.

Parlaying that fame into acting success may have to wait, though, as Chicago selected her with the No. 7 overall pick of that draft and surely expects her to be a franchise building block for years to come.

Unfortunately for the Sky, she is out for the season with a wrist injury. It cut short an impressive rookie campaign that saw her average 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game while setting the WNBA record for consecutive double-doubles.

The Sky are holding onto the final playoff spot in the WNBA standings but are just one game ahead of the Atlanta Dream and Washington Mystics. It will likely be difficult to hold the challengers off without Reese, but her expected return next year should help them compete for future postseason spots.

And that might bring even more fame which she could one day turn into an acting career.
