Amber Stevens West has had a consistent career in Hollywood since 2006. After a brief appearance in the ever-iconic “Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,” the actress found a career-changing role in the ABC Family series, “Greek.”
One of the most popular shows on the network, “Greek” afforded West a certain level of clout and ran for four seasons. The comedy, which highlights the college experience, was special for West, as she never got the opportunity to pursue a post-secondary education. “That was our college experience,” West told PopSugar in 2021, a decade after the series wrapped up. “So it got us all to be really close. For most of us, it was like our first big project.”
“Greek” was a major milestone in West’s career and led to guest stints on sitcoms like “How I Met Your Father” and “New Girl.” Perhaps her most prominent role from the 2010s was in “22 Jump Street,” where she plays Maya, the daughter of Captain Dickson (Ice Cube). One of the most memorable additions to the “Jump Street” sequel, West is an absolute standout in the film. While speaking with BlackFilm.com, West discussed how she was attracted to the role because of its comedic elements. “Comedy… That’s what I always wanted to do and that’s what I love to do,” she said.
Years later, West found herself starring in “The Carmichael Show” and the spooky sitcom, “Ghosted.” Take a brief look at her filmography and you will see that comedy is West’s bread and butter, which is probably why she was the perfect choice for the hilariously heartfelt Lincoln Holiday sales event ad.
