Anyone played by: Katie Cassidy, Neal McDonough (except Sean Cahill, who fits perfectly with the rest of the cast), Summer Glau (except Cameron from T:TSCC; at least that character is supposed to be low-affect with a minor showing of emotions), Brian Austin Green, or Michelle Yeoh. Kristian Bruun from Orphan Black. Peyton List in pretty much everything.

I’m sorry but putting Michelle Yeoh on this list is insane- she’s fkn fantastic. and that’s not even the first questionable name on your list…

She’s really not, though. Not in anything I’ve seen her in, at least. When she pops up on screen, I know I can expect a character that is stilted yet physically overacted, has comparatively little (like, TOS-era Spock is more expressive) movement to their face aside from her mouth, and aside from being pretty physically capable isn’t great at playing more than one or two types of characters - motherly & wise, or evil and violent. Either way brace for her character to be “instructive”.

That said, I will admit that I don’t really go out of my way to watch her movies and shows - the only thing I’ve seen her in that has her be more than a bit part is Star Trek: Discovery.
