#’The Queen’s Gambit’ newcomer Moses Ingram graduated Yale only last year

Moses Ingram was prepared for “the worst” after graduating from the Yale School of Drama, anticipating she’d have to work odd jobs or wait tables before landing a role.

But the way things are unfolding, the 2019 grad won’t be doing that anytime soon.

Ingram can currently be seen as Jolene in “The Queen’s Gambit,” the Netflix series about a chess prodigy, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, that debuted on the streaming service Oct. 23.

“I don’t play chess,” she told The Post. “They gifted me with a very beautiful chess set that is here in my living room but I still haven’t learned.”

Ingram says the shoot was a “beautiful, beginning experience. I couldn’t ask for anything better than working with people who were super patient and generous.”

Despite being a recent grad, the Baltimore native said the crew often bounced ideas off her, much to her surprise.

“The fact that the director Scott Frank would ask me what I thought, I would be in shock that he even cared what I thought,” she said. “So lacking in ego. It really was a truly beautiful experience.”

Ingram recently wrapped “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” a forthcoming adaption of “Macbeth,” which also stars Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand. She confesses that table reads could sometimes be fraught affairs because she was too busy fan-girling the Oscar winners.

“I would think, ‘Someone is messing up their lines,’ ” she said, and shortly after realizing she was the one who was not chiming in.

“To get to meet my heroes and have them love me is more than I can ask for,” Ingram enthused.
