In her most recent role as the star of NBC’s ‘Found’, Shanola portrays Gabi Mosely, a public relations specialist with a striking resemblance to Olivia Pope, the iconic character from “Scandal.” Gabi Mosely is savvy, aggressive, and authoritative, characteristics that make her a formidable force in the world of PR. Her mission, however, sets her apart – she’s dedicated to helping find missing children, particularly those who are not privileged or from wealthy backgrounds.
As the show’s narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that Gabi’s past is inextricably linked to her work. She’s not just an accomplished PR specialist, but also a survivor of kidnapping, a fact that adds layers of complexity to her character. Mosely’s unique ability to understand the intricacies of these cases stems from a deeply personal connection – she herself was once a kidnapped and she is keeping her kidnapper locked in her basement, where his insider knowledge of criminals becomes a vital resource for her investigations.
Shanola Hampton’s performance in “Found” has captivated audiences, and her character’s journey is one of resilience, determination, and complex storytelling. In Gabi Mosely, we see a powerful female lead who defies convention and stereotypes, showcasing a unique blend of strength, vulnerability, and determination.
Shanola is no stranger to the world of television, as she achieved fame through her role as Veronica Fisher in the Emmy-Award-winning series “Shameless.” This comedy-drama, set in Chicago’s South Side, explores the lives of the dysfunctional Gallagher family and tackles a myriad of social issues with humor and poignancy. Her portrayal of Veronica Fisher further cemented her status as a versatile and accomplished actress.
