Sasheer Zamata, Pike and SNL alum, is on Marvel series. Who is her character?

The world will get to see the power of a Pike High School alum tonight with the debut of “Agatha All Along” on Disney+.

Sasheer Zamata, class of 2004, will star in the Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries.

The show debuts at 9 p.m. ET on Sept. 18.

Sasheer Zamata, a cast member on “Saturday Night Live" from 2014 to 2017, plays Jennifer Kale, part of a coven of witches.

Sasheer Zamata grew up in Indianapolis

The actress, 38, was born Sasheer Zamata Moore in Okinawa, Japan, to Ivory Steward and Henry Moore, a lieutenant colonel in the US Air Force.

Her great-grandfather, Leroy Washington Mahon, founded the town of Fargo, Arkansas.

Zamata lived in Indianapolis from age 9 to 18, when she attended College Park Elementary, Lincoln Middle School and Pike High School.

“I was a huge nerd,” Zamata told IndyStar in 2015.

She was vice president of the National Honor Society chapter, competed in Hoosier State Spell Bowl, wrote for the literary magazine, ran track, sang in show choir and played violin in orchestra — “anything that could keep me at school because I just loved being at school,” she said.

She stopped playing volleyball during her senior year at Pike to try out for her first musical, a production of “Working” based on Studs Terkel’s book of the same title. Zamata stuck with musicals and plays while attending the University of Virginia.

Zamata has worked with the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy troupe in New York.

Sasheer Zamata made history on 'Saturday Night Live'

Zamata joined the cast during a season when the show faced criticism for its lack of diversity and not having any Black female cast members at its start. She was SNL's first black female cast member since bi-racial Maya Rudolph left the show in 2007.

She appeared on the TV series “Woke” from 2020 to 2022 and “Home Economics” from 2021 to 2023.
