Career

Olivia is represented by Animal Casting Atlanta.[2]

Her first screen appearance was in Netflix's Insatiable, which premiered in 2018.[3]

In Game Night, Olivia played a male dog named Bastian.[4] On the set of Widows, Olivia was given her own trailer and groomers. She played a female dog also named Olivia.[5][6]

She has received praise from Viola Davis for her work in Widows: "I don't own a dog in life, so I was [complaining] like, 'I've gotta work with a dog. What if the dog licks me? Dogs are nasty and disgusting.' Within the first five minutes, I'm kissing the dog, I'm holding the dog, the dog was on my chest. I love that dog, and she came to me so easily."[7]
