The 23-year-old is making her acting debut in Action Royale, and her character is integral to saving Trilby's family from potential harm.

"Reggie has just been a gaming phenom since the beginning of time," Haleigh shared exclusively with Distractify about her on-screen persona. "She has no problem talking back, humbling someone, and putting them in their place. She's confident in herself."

Her prowess as a competitive video game player could be enough to settle Trilby's dad's debt, but Reggie isn't exactly excited to be involved in an underground gambling ring.

"Reggie definitely has a hard time, but she really cares about Trilby," the actress added. "There's a bit of a balance between being there for her best friend, as well as managing her own life."

As someone with a strong background in competitive gaming herself (she's been playing since the age of 4), Haleigh had a unique ability to relate to her character — though there is far more pressure on Reggie to win.

"Gaming's really always been a part of my life, similar to how it's always been a part of Reggie's life..." Haleigh explained. "It was really fun to be a part of a project where I get to do the two things that I love the most: acting and gaming."

Filming the action sequences in the series also helped Haleigh in other ways.

"I've dealt with anxiety my entire life, so putting myself in those situations and dealing with them as a character has been a way for me to deal with it in real life as Haleigh," she continued.

Though her role on Action Royale helped to put Haleigh at ease, the same can't be said for viewers.

"You are always going to be on the edge of your seat. There's always something going on," Haleigh said about the show, before teasing that the "intense" first season ends with "a pretty big cliffhanger" in the final seconds.
