Adrianna Mitchell talks about how she manifest things, her new show CRUTCH, loving Sailor Moon, her role on Snowfall and more with Young Deuces

Talking with Adriana Mitchell felt like watching a real-time confirmation of one core message that kept rising to the surface: what’s meant for you is meant for you. This entire conversation is drenched in that energy, from her childhood creativity to the major career moves she’s making today—including her newest one: starring in Tracy Morgan’s upcoming series CRUTCH.

Mitchell’s story starts with a sense of belonging she felt early on, even if she didn’t always believe she deserved it. She grew up writing her own comedic scripts and performing her own plays, long before Hollywood ever called her name. But as we walk through her journey, you see how life kept nudging her to claim spaces that were already aligned for her.

One of the most powerful examples is Snowfall. She was already booked with other projects, doing Zoom auditions during Covid, and convinced the production wouldn’t shift schedules for someone “new.” But they did. They had her in mind all along, and when she finally screen tested with Damson Idris, even he said, “I didn’t want to say it… but you already had the role.” Moments like that became a pattern in her career.

Which brings us to CRUTCH—and the main reason for this interview. Mitchell lights up talking about this new series, because her casting is another full-circle manifestation moment. She didn’t even need to re-audition. Tracy Morgan personally chose her. His team reached out to let her know she was the one they wanted for the role. That kind of validation doesn’t just happen—it’s earned, and it speaks to the level of presence and talent she brings into any room.

Even when our audio tried to act up and kill the vibe, we pushed through it, and the manifestation energy stayed strong. That’s honestly the theme of her entire story: obstacles try, but they never win when something is aligned for you.

And of course, we had to tap into her personality and passions. Mitchell is a proud Blerd—a real one. Star Wars, Sailor Moon, geek culture… she loves it all. Hearing someone as talented and experienced as her openly embrace that side is dope, especially for the Blerd community.

This interview is inspiring, grounded, and full of gems about artistry, alignment, and trusting the timing of your own life. And with CRUTCH on the way, this is the perfect time to get to know Adriana Mitchell on a deeper level.
