A Wish List: 7 Actors I’d Love to See in Joss Whedon’s S.H.I.E.L.D. TV Series

2. Olivia Thirlby

The second of my new recruits, Thirlby can currently be seen in theatres as Judge Anderson in Dredd 3D, and will be back on the big screen in the US next month in Nobody Walks, in which she gives a strong performance as the lead opposite John Kransinski.

Her roles in films like Nobody Walks and The Wackness demonstrate her impressive dramatic talents, with Dredd 3D naturally showing off her capabilities in the action genre, and would be an excellent addition to Whedon’s expanding group of collaborators as a member of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team.
