Cline grew up in the other Carolina, in the city of Charleston. According to her IMDb page, she got her acting start at a young age, traveling to New York to star in commercials for major national and international brands. You might recognize her from her TV spots and print ads for Next, T-Mobile, and Sunny D. While Outer Banks certainly represents her first starring role in a TV series, it’s far from her first appearance on a popular series; before landing this latest gig, she did guest spots on two other series featuring young casts.
In 2017, she played Jessica on two episodes of the CW’s supernatural drama The Originals. While her time on the Vampire Diaries spin-off was short-lived, casting agents apparently took notice of her, because she soon made a quick jump over to Netflix for a two-episode turn as Tina on the smash hit Stranger Things (you may remember her from the opening chapters of season 2).
It’s just possible that her work on Stranger Things put Cline on Netflix’s radar, helping her get the role of Sarah when it came time to cast Outer Banks.
