1 ImageEarly life and modeling
Silvers began her public career as a model and as an active social media user, which helped her build a profile before her film debut. Her background in modeling informed her early assignments and on‑set poise, and she moved from fashion and online platforms into auditioning for film roles. This mixed start—part influencer, part model—became a common pathway for young actors of her generation.
Acting career and breakthrough
In 2019 Silvers appeared in two high‑visibility films. In Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart she played Hope, a character who added emotional texture to the film’s central story about friendship and graduation night escapades. In the same year she took a darker turn as Maggie in Ma, a horror film that showcased her ability to handle tense, suspenseful material. That year also brought a television casting: in September 2019 it was announced that Silvers would join the cast of the Netflix Netflix comedy series Space Force, expanding her presence into serialized television.
Notable roles and range
Silvers has been noted for her willingness to work across genres, moving from comedy to horror and to ensemble television. Critics and viewers have commented on her naturalistic screen presence and the ease with which she slips into different character types. Her combination of youthful relatability and composure on camera has made her a recognizable face in contemporary American independent and studio films.

As a young performer Silvers continues to balance modeling and acting work.
