Guess who is returning to Puyallup?!?! Please welcome back Peyton List for the Washington State Summer Con from June 20th through the 22nd. Peyton portrays the All Valley Champion from Cobra Kai, Tory Nichols. Initially loyal to Cobra Kai, she grapples with rivalry, betrayal, and personal loss, ultimately finding redemption through self-reflection and shifting alliances.
Peyton is an actress and model whose career already spans two decades, transitioning seamlessly from child star to leading lady in film and television. List began her career as a child model, gracing covers for Girl’s Life and Justice magazine before making her acting debut at age four with an uncredited role in As the World Turns (2002). Her first notable film role came in 2008, playing young Jane Nichols in the romantic comedy 27 Dresses, marking her entry into feature films.
List’s breakout came as Holly Hills in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series (2011–2012), where she charmed audiences as Greg Heffley’s love interest. That same year, she landed the role of Emma Ross on Disney Channel’s Jessie (2011–2015), a performance that solidified her as a household name. Her portrayal of the stylish, affluent Emma led to the spinoff Bunk’d (2015–2018, 2021), where she continued to shine. List’s early film credits also include Remember Me (2010), The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010), and Something Borrowed (2011).
In 2019, List joined Netflix’s Cobra Kai as Tory Nichols, a fierce, troubled martial artist, marking a pivotal shift to more complex, antagonistic roles. Her nuanced performance across the series’ six seasons (2019–2025) earned critical acclaim. Beyond Cobra Kai, List starred as Maddie Nears in Paramount+’s School Spirits (2023–present), also serving as a producer, and played Olivia Richmond in Hulu’s Light as a Feather (2018). Recent films include Paper Spiders (2021), The Inheritance (2024), and American Boogeywoman (2021), where she portrayed Aileen Wuornos.
