4. Maleah Joi Moon Maleah Joi Moon was already a major stage talent, winning the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her Broadway debut in Hell’s Kitchen, but A Different World proves she is just as magnetic on screen. As Deborah Wayne, the daughter of beloved original characters Dwayne and Whitley, Moon carries Netflix’s sequel series with charisma, warmth and a wonderfully natural screen presence that should open the door to much more from her in the very near future.
