Michaela Conlin was glad Bones> didn't cast her in a stereotypical Asian role

Observer

“The role was not written specifically for an Asian woman. It was a very broad net, so I feel really lucky. They just let her be so many different things,” says Conlin, who now stars on For All Mankind. “I felt like they never wrote her to be this stereotypical (Asian), other than she was very good with computers, which I think is a terrible stereotype because I am terrible with anything like that. But it was so funny to play an expert in it for so long. She was a human being first, and the race was something that I felt that the writers never really thought about in that way, which I really appreciated.”
