As Rebecca Stroud she will not tolerate the millennials' way, but as Sorvino she will certainly not tolerate injustice against women
PUBLISHED NOV 6, 2018

Mira Sorvino plays the uptight, ruthless, NSA agent Rebecca Stroud in Sony Crackle's tech-drama, 'Start Up', and the actress absolutely loves her character because she is nothing like the rest. Picking up from the last season, 'Start Up' Season Three which aired on November 1, follows Nick (played by Adam Brody), and Ronald (Edi Gathegi) who are trying to save their network, Araknet, from being completely shut down by the NSA. 

As a government worker, Stroud is everything that Nick and Ronald would not like to tussle with, and the NSA agent will go to any length to bring the tech-giant down, whose network can reach beyond government borders, thus, making it the most accessible network for all. Stroud is a dedicated American, and she will give the government whatever it wants even if it means killing people.
