It’s been a fast rise for Keller, who landed her breakout role as femme fatale Simone Gerhardt in Season 2 of Fargo right after graduating from Carnegie Mellon’s drama program in 2014. Keller quickly became a fan favorite and impressed Hawley and FX brass, who moved on to cast her in her first leading role on Legion, from FX Prods. and Marvel Television.

Keller, who just turned 23, continues to be repped by Suskin Management.
