Marsai Martin is the newest “It-Girl” in Hollywood. Mostly known for her work on the hit television show Black-ish, the 14 year old actress is starting to branch out into other jobs within the entertainment industry. Martin is being credited, as of right now, as the youngest executive producer in Hollywood yet. This comes from her newest project, Little, in which she not only stares in, but also produces as well. One year ago, the actress met with Universal Studios to promote her “want” of e reboot of Tom Hanks’ classic Big. However, Martin wanted the cast to be completely rebooted with the majority of the cast being black females.
