Early life and education

[edit]

Antariksa was born Lauren Marie-Elizabeth Antariksa on August 22, 1995 in Los Angeles County, California[3][4] to an Indonesian father and a German mother.[5] She graduated from Valencia High School in 2011.[6]

Career

[edit]

Antariksa's breakout role was as Stevie Baskara in the 2012 Nickelodeon sitcom How to Rock. The show premiered February 4, 2012, and ran for 25 episodes. It was not renewed for a second season.[7][8]

Antariksa's other television acting credits include American Family, According to Jim, ER, Head Cases, Monk, Zoey 101, and Gemini Division.[9]

Antariksa played high-schooler Rowan Fricks in the go90 web series T@gged from 2016 to 2018.[10]

She played the lead role in the 2018 post-apocalyptic thriller film What Still Remains alongside Colin O'Donoghue. The film received mixed reviews, with the Los Angeles Times' review stating: "...though it gets more tense in its second half, the movie overall is a bit too sedate. Still, a great cast... brings Mendoza’s ideas to life,"[11] while Rob Hunter for Film School Rejects wrote "Antariksa does good work and convinces as a young woman who’s fully able to care for herself while still being someone in need of human contact".[12] Screenanarchy.com's review stated: "the lead performances are very solid"[13] and Decider called the film "a hidden gem".[14]

Antariksa was next seen in the role of Penelope Park in the first season of The CW television series Legacies.[15] She then starred in the short film The Lonely Host,[16] where one reviewer called her performance "impeccable"[17] and appeared in the film Witch Hunt, which premiered at the South by Southwest film festival in March 2021.[18]
