17 of Keke Palmer's Best Movie and TV Roles

Keke "sorry for that man" Palmer isn't new to this, she's loyal to it (see what we did there, "True Jackson, VP" fans?). Like no other, Palmer has been reserved and busy since age 9 when she got her very first acting role in "Barbershop 2: Back in Business." Since then, Palmer has transcended her acting career as a child and teenager — which is nothing to sneeze at, by the way — to do just about anything imaginable. Palmer acts in all genres, does voice work, makes music and dances. She even won a Primetime Emmy for her Facebook Watch series "Turn Up With the Taylors." Not to mention, she's the GOAT of hosting, having hosted everything from "GMA3" and the 2020 MTV VMAs to the 2021 Met Gala.

Put simply, Palmer has the range. It would take you weeks to work your way through Palmer's "Akeelah and the Bee" days and his time on Nickelodeon to his recent work in notable movies like "Hustlers" or buzzy animated series like "Big Mouth", "Human Resources", and "The Proud Family: Stronger and Prouder."

This summer, you may have heard Palmer's voice as space adventurer Izzy Hawthorne alongside beloved space ranger Buzz Lightyear in "Lightyear," but that's not not all. You can see her starring role in Jordan Peele's sci-fi thriller "Nope," in theaters now.

It doesn't take a fortune teller to feel like Palmer is just getting started. Could an EGOT be in his future? With the way she tweeted herself in the final season of "Insecure," we think the answer might be yes!
