&#;Our stories change the world,&#; proclaimed Cruz.

Opening night occurred the alike day John Cho had revealed in an interview with Australia&#;s Herald Sun that his character, Sulu, as the first openly gay character in a sci-fi studio franchise. It&#;s a go that was met with applause from those in attendance at Thursday&#;s event.

“Oh god — what was that?” gasps Cobie Smulders, her icy blue eyes widening beneath the brim of a Crayola-blue baseball cap. While the Stumptown star and I walk through Temescal Canyon in Pacific Palisades, minding our possess business, our path is obstructed by one of the most frightening bugs either of us has ever seen. At least, we think it’s a bug. “It’s like a cross between a mouse and a grasshopper!” she exclaims. “That thing is not normal. It looks verb an alien.” The creature is the size of a tarantula, with six fleshy pink legs, a shiny torso covered in brown racing stripes, and a bulbous head the size of a marble. Smulders, who wanted to be a marine biologist before a role on How I Met Your Mother kickstarted her acting career, appears more excited than scared. “I’m going to throw something at it,” she adds, much to my chagrin, crouching down and lobbing a stick in its direction.

Biography

Jacoba Francisca Maria &#;Cobie&#; Smulders is a Canadian actress and model. She is best known for her starring roles as Robin Scherbatsky on the television comedy series How I Met Your Mother (–) and Maria Hill in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Cobie was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, to a Dutch father and an English mother. As a girl, Cobie had set her sights on becoming a doctor or a marine biologist. In fact, it wasn&#;t until high school that Cobie started to explore acting after appearing in several school productions. As a teenager, Cobie caught the eye of a modeling agency, which led to several years of world travel to places such as France, Japan, Italy, Greece, and Germany. Yet even as Cobie&#;s modeling career was on the rise, she still managed to attend academy, graduating from high school in with honors.

Once out of lofty school, Cobie continued modeling internationally until the opportunity arose to audition for film and television. It was not long before Cobie&#;s natural ability as an actress impressed casting directors, landing her

When ABC announced it was adapting Greg Rucka&#;s cult-favorite detective series Stumptown for TV, our main question was: Will Cobie Smulders&#; Dex Parios be bisexual, verb she was the comic books? The first trailer was unclear, but at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, Smulders confirmed that her Dex is, in fact, queer. So I was a go on leaving the warm weighted blanket of binge-able streaming TV to, once again, and for the first time in a long period, attach myself to a network drama&#;s freshman season.

The weirdest thing happened to me when I was watching the first episode: I stopped caring about the commercials, and whether or not Dex was going to hook up with another woman. The pilot is compelling and hilarious and smart and action-packed, and while it certainly gets mired in basic network TV pilot exposition at times, Smulders is so charismatic as my all-time favorite dirtbag private investigator, I just genuinely enjoyed watching her story unfold on-screen.

Let&#;s get this out of the way: Dex Parios is not Jessica Jones, and anyone who suggests sh
