Chloe Bennet is a breath of fresh air in the agents-heavy cast of "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD." Unlike Agents Phil Coulson, Melinda May or Grant Ward, her character Skye is a hacker who unwittingly becomes a part of the SHIELD team despite her best efforts to thwart the organization.
There's a good chance ABC viewers will recognize Bennet from her arc on"Nashville" Season 1. Bennet is trying something new as Skye, and is a scene-stealer in an ensemble show that features an array of impressive performances. She holds her own against everyone from Clark Gregg to Brett Dalton, playing a convincing skeptic as her character asks the questions that need to be asked in the show.
Bennet is a firecracker on "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" and commands every scene she's in. Her ease with the material makes it seem like she was born into the Whedonverse, and she'll surely find herself welcomed with open arms into the Marvel family.
For those reasons and many more, Bennet is one of Zap2it's Ones to Watch for the 2013-14 season. Get to know her better with the following Q&A:
What are your can't-miss TV shows?
Gosh. Well I am pretty much as ADD and random as it gets when it comes to my taste in television. Anything Gordon Ramsey I love. I just can't get enough of those forehead wrinkles. But I also love "Downton Abbey," "The Walking Dead," "Modern Family," "Louie," "New Girl," or anything on animal planet.
