The role of Natalia Grace in the Hulu series "Good American Family" is played by Imogen Faith Reid , a 27-year-old British actor making her acting debut with this role. Reid was cast after an extensive international search and portrays various ages and perspectives of Natalia Grace, who has a form of dwarfism. Despite the real Natalia being a child during the events, Reid is an adult with dwarfism herself and worked with coaches to accurately represent Natalia's physicality and American accent.
The show dramatizes the controversial story of Natalia Grace Barnett, a Ukrainian orphan adopted by an American couple who later accused her of being an adult posing as a child. Reid was selected for her emotional range and ability to authentically portray this complex character. She has not spoken to the real Natalia Grace but sought to embody her story with empathy and justice.
