Skyler Davenport
Skyler Davenport is a American actor.[1] Davenport has neurological vision loss, and, with notable exceptions, voice actor work has been a major focus of their career. In particular she was the star of a thriller entitled See For Me, where she plays a blind person, hired as a house-sitter, who relies on a smartphone app and remote partner, to defend herself during a dangerous home invasion.[2]
Personal life
Davenport was born with a rare form of migraine headaches, which can cause temporary paralysis, and, occasionally, strokes. Davenport's 2012 stroke caused profound vision loss. Davenport has also had elective surgery, known colloquially as "top surgery", used by people of her gender preference.
Career
See For Me, which premiered at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival, was her first role that was not voice work.[1]
Davenport identifies as agender.[1]
