Da: Before “altered carbon,” one of your most popular roles was as jiaying in season two of “agents of s.h.I.e.L.D.” what do you remember the most about being on that show? DL:

Being pregnant! Just kidding. i adore Jed and maurissa [show creators Jed Whedon and maurissa tancharoen]. the cast and crew are also amazing; i was so happy to be able to work with them again. they really have a family vibe on that show and that’s something really special. Also, i loved the scene when my character tells Daisy that she is her mom. Being pregnant at the time just gave me a deeper connection to the material and that was special.

in many cases, yes. i’m not sure if it means the same now with the plethora of content. But before SVoD [Streaming or Subscription Video on demand] and the speed of the internet, it really was for a lot of people. i’m very fond of my time on that show.

to respect everyone no matter their title. Work hard, show up on time and don’t mess around. it was like going to boarding school. i also made some life-long friends.

i love to garden, nest and clean and then relax in the spaces when i’m done and enjoy the hard work. it’s like heaven. i don’t have a cleaning lady. i find it meditative.

my husband sometimes gets frustrated with me because i also like to move furniture around a lot and he gets annoyed that i don’t ask for his help. i need to get better at that.

“it’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting,” from the Alchemist. i have so many but that one often moves to the top of the list.
