Over the Christmas holiday I took some time to catch up on all the crap that had accumulated on my DVR and spent an evening binge-watching Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I’ll have to admit I didn’t care for this show much upon its debut, but it has since grown on me. 

This month we feature an actress who was relatively unknown before landing her role as Skye in the Marvel franchise. Born in Chicago to a Chinese-American father and American mother, Chloe Bennet later travelled to Bejing where she became fluent in Mandarin while honing her talents in the pop music scene. She later returned to Los Angeles to take up a career in acting and starred in several minor roles before being cast as a series regular in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
