Linda Cardellini is the type of actor who is more respected and appreciated by the audiience than by the industry. People have been expressing on social media how she deserved more than she's given, like when Marvel hinted that she'd be there and everybody hyping she's be this or that superhero just to end up being Hawkeye's wife when she's far more liked than him. She's constantly ranking high in the IMDB celebrty lists yet the industry don't care about what people want to see or who they want to see on their screens and shoves down our throat whoever they want.

Linda is such an incredible actor and seems like an incredible person too. I really hope she gets award recognition for her amazing work in season 3 of dead to me

Yay beautiful and intelligent Linda! When i first watched Freaks and Geeks, I wanted to know who that girl was. So pretty, relatable, talented...it's Linda! I'm so proud of her

I fell in love with her as Lauren in Boy Meets World, i still watch Freaks and Geeks everyday on Pluto TV, the movie Return is a personal favorite, Scooby-Doo was groundbreaking, Dead to Me was grand. A decorated lovely woman!
