Saxon Paige Sharbino (born June 11, 1999) is an American actress. She is known for portraying Amelia Robbins in the Fox series Touch and Kendra Bowen in the 2015 remake of Poltergeist.

Early life[]

Sharbino was born in Lewisville, Texas, the daughter of Angela and Ron Sharbino. She began acting at the age of nine. Saxon is the older sister of actress Brighton Sharbino and singer/actor Sawyer Sharbino.[1][2] She attended Bridlewood Elementary School for a few years, choosing to finish her elementary schooling at home while focusing on her acting.[citation needed] She would later come back to Flower Mound and skip a grade when starting Downing Middle School.[citation needed] Sharbino was homeschooled during her high school years.[3] Her parents were worried about her entering the acting industry and have been protective in keeping her safe from harm.[4]

At nine years old Sharbino started acting with her first role in independent feature.[5]

Sharbino's first big role was in TV movie "Rogue" opposite Angela Bassett.[6]

In 2013, Sharbino worked with Kiefer Sutherland in Touch. She didn't audition for the role as she was previously booked for a Fox pilot that didn't get picked up and the producers placed her in the role of Amelia Robbins.[7] She and her family moved to Los Angeles, California for the role and to advance her career.[8][7] Also in 2013, Sharbino starred with William H. Macy and Amanda Peet in Trust Me as Lydia.[7] Sharbino stated that she learnt a lot from the director Clark Gregg, and the relationship that Macy and his wife Felicity Huffman had inspired her to take a more proactive role in Hollywood.[7] Sharbino stated that she took the role of the young starlet struggling to find a talent agent, because she wanted to show young actors that Hollywood isn't always safe and they need to be aware of some sinister situations that can arise.[4][9]

In 2016, Sharbino played Simone in the Netflix series "Love", and filmed the horror film "Bedeviled".[10]

In 2017, Sharbino was in the Hulu action horror series "Freakish".[3] Sharbino stated that she was drawn to the role of Anka because she was a manipulative mean girl who had a soft side.[3]

"American Vandal" was released in 2017 and saw Sharbino play the role of high school student Sarah Pearson.[3]

In 2018, Sharbino starred with her sister Brighton, in the movie Urban Country.[3]

In 2020, Sharbino started regularly posting to her YouTube channel which often features her brother and sister.[11]
