chool is starting and our quality “Netflix
and chill” hours are quickly giving way to hours
in a textbook. Now, when you are looking for a
go-to fix in the hour-long periods between class
and sports practice, MOST recommends Heroes
Reborn. For many reasons is this our show of the
season, but the most important is Danika Yarosh.

You might know Danika for her roles on Law and Order, Shameless,
or Retribution, but she is best known for her role as Malina on Heroes
Reborn—a character that she has often times found similar to herself.
Danika says, “She’s at an age where she’s rapidly learning things about

herself and where she fits in to the world. There are responsibilities
to take on at a much larger level and at the same time she’s learning
to find a balance between strength, courage, and vulnerability.”
Acting, Danika tells MOST, is about telling the truth.

Danika attributes her true passion and understanding for the art to
her upbringing. She says, “Well, to be honest, my upbringing has been

pretty unorthodox, but I couldn’t be more proud,” she continues on,
“[My siblings and I are] all definitely very driven, independent, and
supportive of each other and I think that’s something that would
translate into any career, really.” But Danika can do more than act.
She has a life-long passion for dance. “Once a dancer, always a
dancer! It will always be one of my favorite forms of expression,”
she tells MOST. When asked if there have been on-set dance
breaks, Danika responded “Haha, always!”

Now that school is starting, those 8:00am wake-ups have us in
desperate need of some style tips. So whom does Danika turn to
when she is looking for inspiration? Her list includes: Alexa Chung,
Aymeline Valade, Jane Birkin, Daria Werbowy, Kristen Stewart, and
Cara Delevingne. “I look up to people who are completely unafraid
to express themselves freely,” she says. And what do we need to keep
on the side of our backpacks for those between-class bathroom runs?
Danika says Marc Jacobs Lovemarc Lip Gel in Roleplay. “I can’t

leave the house without it!”

What do MOST readers have to look forward to from Danika in the
next five years? She hopes to continue in film, “I just hope to be working
with actors and directors who love what they do,” she says.
