"She delights in working with other actors. She is thoughtful about good writing. She wants to make everything better, and somehow, that seems like half the battle."
"Lupe still recalls what grabbed her about those early scripts. "Erin somehow managed to find this fine line of very biting, kind of dry, a little dickish, bratty humor, while also having so much heart running through all of it," Lupe told IndieWire during a recent interview."
""It was very clear that these sisters love each other and have this kind of rivalry and banter going on, and that comes out in all their dialogue. I liked that I could hear her voice and that it had these two tones that lived in equal measure. I hadn't really experienced that before. I could feel how familiar Morgan was to Erin.""
"When we first met Lupe's Morgan Williams in Season 1 of creator Erin Foster's smash hit Netflix series "Nobody Wants This," she made for an excellent foil and reliable ride-or-die for her big sister and podcast partner Joanne (Kristen Bell). Acerbic and funny and not at all afraid of calling out Joanne's shit, the sisters were based on Foster and her own sister, Sara."
Justine Lupe is recognized for making every scene feel better through natural good humor and an ability to turn outlandish moments into something human.

She enjoys collaborating with other actors and pays attention to writing quality, aiming to improve what she is given. In Nobody Wants This, she plays Morgan Williams, a sharp, funny foil and ride-or-die for her sister Joanne, marked by acerbic banter and willingness to call out wrongdoing. Early scripts impressed her for balancing biting, dry, bratty humor with real heart, while keeping sisterly rivalry and affection audible in the dialogue.
