A few years ago, Chloe Wang was just another young actor in Los Angeles struggling to land substantial roles.
“It wasn’t what I signed up for, but I’m so stoked it’s happening,” Bennet says. “I’m half Chinese, and we’ve got an ethnically diverse cast. To act alongside a melting pot of actors with a showrunner [Maurissa Tancharoen] who is Thai—it’s really cool to be on right side of history when it comes to diversity. I’m really glad to be a part of it.”
“I’ve done these conventions in the past, and these fans and young girls tell me I’m an inspiration and role model,” she says. “It’s something I fell into, but it’s important to do whatever I can for them.”
Chloe Bennet Spotlight, Sun 3/20, 3:15-4:15 PM, McCormick Place, 2301 S. Lake Shore, c2e2.com, $35, $65 for three-day pass.
