Yes! I would love to watch Natasha as a leading lady in a rom com!

Yes Natasha Rothwell in a rom-com! She's brilliant and lovely. I want to be her friend.

I don't know the show or this woman, but I would go see her do anything based on this sentence: " I was just a walking mullet, business on top and a party down below." Also, I don't see "plus-sized black girl", I see striking young woman with fabulous hair. Just sayin'.

Ah yes. She makes every episode fun. A bit more on her and Chad is all I ask for from Insecure. I'll take a spin off too.
Lauren (NYC)
Yessss Natasha! Her success is so well-deserved!
Kelly Lehman (40215)
I LOVE your character on Insecure! MORE KELLY, MORE KELLY, MORE KELLY! I admit I'm not sure if that's how you're spelling the characters name. :) This season seems so short though!
Say What (New York, NY)
So glad to know that she is also a writer on Insecure. Her character on the show does not get much screen time since the focus is on Issa and Molly which is understandable. Though I wanna know more about Kelli and I hope there is a spin-off!
Jen (Chicago Area)
I would absolutely come and see your movie. I hope someone gives you a chance.

Thank you for this profile, Ms. Rothwell is positively brilliant on Insecure. She's my favorite part of the show, which is filled with excellent actors and brilliant writing. Give her (and Insecure) all the awards!

Natasha Rothwell does a remarkable job with her role on Insecure. I enjoy the show and in particular recognize the talent and vibrancy of Natasha. I have issues with the program to an extent (Issa grates on my nerves some times; when she banged those garbage can lids to awaken her friends when the girls were at the hotel for the Coachella concert, I could have strangled her; what an annoyance) but for the most part, Natasha is one of the more rewarding aspects of a well written show.

@Odehyah That scene was a nod to a well-known scene from the second season of The Bad Girls Club with Tanisha Thomas.

Natasha Rothwell in Netflix' "The Characters" is the definition of brilliant.

I love INSECURE. I'm sure Natasha Rothwell is a fine actress but I hate the Kelli character - she's way too slapstick for me. It would go a long way if she was a little bit less foolish and clownish. The recent episode of Tiffany's baby shower where we learn how jealous Kelli is of the pending baby and worried she is being cut out of Tiffany's life was excellent. That was a Kelli I could get behind. I'd like to see more 'realness' for Kelli and less of her being a joke - or as she often is, an idiot.

Her character Kelli on Insecure is a scene-stealer every time. LOVE LOVE LOVE the show and the fact that each season is only 8 episodes kills me!!

I love this show and especially Rothwell’s character. The cast and writing are so good.
Ade Oso (NYC)
I am a Natasha Rothwell FAN. She’s so talented on so many levels and I will stay seeking her out and supporting her work in whatever she does.

This show is fantastic. Had no idea she was the writer. Well done!

@Nicholas Balthazar - She is one of the writers.
