'Iron Fist' actress Christine Toy Johnson on landing Marvel role and the "secretive" audition
All eyes are on the second season of 'Iron Fist.' Born off the pages of Marvel comics, the Danny Rand-centric superhero saga is about to bring the heat to the streets of New York City, picking up exactly where the action left us at the end of season 1. Meaning some familiar faces, formidable foes, and sinister adversaries. Joining this jampacked narrative and the intriguing mix of the Netflix cast this time around, though, is a refreshing new face - multi-hyphenated actress Christine Toy Johnson.
Born and raised in the suburbs of New York City, Johnson is no stranger to the showbiz. Setting foot in the industry by modeling for national campaigns, she has gradually traced her way to the stage - she made her New York debut as the leading lady of the Off-Broadway musical 'Oh, Johnny' - until eventually landing herself a spot in coveted television dramas and superhero series. Interestingly enough, Johnson's passion extends beyond acting (both on screen and on stage) - she is also known for her work as a playwright, director, and advocate for inclusion.
