Alisha Ilhaan Bø (born March 6, 1997), known professionally as Alisha Boe, is a Norwegian-Somali actress.[2] She is known for playing Jessica Davis in the Netflix drama series 13 Reasons Why.

Early life

Boe was born in Oslo, Norway, to a Somali father and a Norwegian mother (from Trondheim).[1][3] She and her mother moved to Los Angeles when Alisha was seven years old because her mother married an American man. Boe attended El Camino Real High School,[citation needed] where she was involved in the drama program. After graduation, she pursued her acting career, whereupon she became the first actress of Somali origin to hold a leading role in an American film since Iman.[4]

Career

Boe made her acting debut in 2008, when she landed a role of a young Lisa Swan in the horror film Amusement.[5] A year later, she appeared in the film He's On My Mind, and in the 2012 horror film Paranormal Activity 4. In 2014, she guest-starred in Modern Family and two episodes of Extant.[6][7][8]

In November 2014, she joined the cast of NBC's soap opera Days of Our Lives in the recurring role of Daphne.[9] From 2017 to 2020, she portrayed the role of Jessica Davis in the Netflix original drama series 13 Reasons Why.[10]
