Glamorous is Netflix’s latest TV series which centres around a beauty influencer who lands a job with a renowned makeup mogul, played by Kim Cattrall. Marco is hired by the mogul and is given the chance to figure out “what he wants out of life” and “what it really means for him to be queer”.

The series has a number of familiar faces, including TV royalty. But what else have they been in? Here’s where you recognise the cast of the new Netflix series Glamorous from.

Marco Mejia – Miss Benny

Miss Benny is cast as the lead, Marco Mejia, in Glamorous on Netflix. Marco is a “quick-witted, fashionable gender-nonconforming queer person who’s feeling stuck in life”. Marco’s life soon changes when hired by Madolyn Addison, an esteemed industry makeup mogul.

While Glamorous is Miss Benny’s first lead role, they have appeared in Fuller House, Guidance and the 2021 horror Dreamcatcher, alongside Olivia Sui and Zachary Gordon.

Speaking to Tudum about the role of Marco, Miss Benny said: “If I had a dollar for every audition I went into prior to Glamorous where I was told to tone down my queerness… girl. And so I went into the Glamorous audition really apprehensive to be too flamboyant. I was giving very, like, ‘diet’ Benny.

“But then the feedback I got was to let go and be myself. My entire career I had never been given permission to let go and just give. And then I was being celebrated for my queerness? It was all the homosexual validation a doll could ask for.”
