Netta Walker

Netta Walker has taken the world by storm with her electrifying portrayal of Keisha McCalla on The CW's smash-hit series, All American: Homecoming. Crossing over between the mainstay series All American and its juicy spinoff, Walker radiates as Keisha, the life of the party and the unofficial Queen of Bringston University.

In Season Two, Keisha dives into her dance dreams, dealing with both uplifting moments and tough mental challenges, all while battling emotional abuse from her dance instructor. Her storyline spotlights one of the many unspoken narratives within the HBCU community and mirrors Walker's personal triumph over adversity. In June 2023, The CW officially announced Walker's return for the highly anticipated Season 3 of All American: Homecoming. Seasons 1 and 2 are now available on Netflix.

Displaying her versatility as a multi-talented artist, Walker's early career began on many of Chicago's renown stages, including the Steppenwolf and Goodman Theaters. In 2019, she won a Jeff Award for Best Supporting Performance in a Play (Yen, Raven Theater) and was quickly named one of the Chicago Tribune's Hot New Faces by lotted theater critic Chris Jones. Walker can next be seen as Alas Capait in The Lion in Winter at Chicago's Tony-Award Winning Court Theatre this upcoming Fall 2023.

Walker made her feature film debut in Come As You Are (Samuel Goldwyn Films, 2019), which debuted at the SXSW Film Festival. She starred opposite Academy Award nominees Gabourey Sidibe, Janeane Garofalo, and Ravi Patel.

Born and raised on the vibrant Westside of Jacksonville, Florida, Walker's unique background—a blend of Filipina and African American heritage—fuels her passion for promoting multicultural representation in media and entertainment. Drawing from her own experiences as the youngest of four children in a mixed-race family, she seamlessly weaves stories of family, culture and courage into her narrative. Walker is a passionate advocate, leveraging her platform to champion causes ranging from social justice to economic equality and the pressing issue of climate change.

Walker currently splits her time between her residence in Chicago and Los Angeles.
