Jelynn Malone on her lead role in Nurse the Dead and why representation matters
Filipino American dancer, singer, show host, and actress Jelynn Malone (San Diego) joins Billy V Live to talk about stepping into her lead role in Nurse the Dead—a supernatural workplace comedy-drama set in Los Angeles.
Malone plays the nursing supervisor in a hospital with a secret: one floor is haunted, and she’s the one running it. The series blends humor, heart, and eerie twists, and Malone shares what it’s been like carrying a central role in a show that balances comedy with drama—while also living in the heightened world of the supernatural.
Beyond the laughs (and the scares), Malone also celebrates the importance of Filipino representation in media. She reflects on what it means to be seen, to take up space in stories that reach wide audiences, and to help normalize Filipino American voices in entertainment.
