"So a non-binary fan of the show on Twitter had tweeted me basically thanking me for my portrayal of Syd and just saying how much it meant to them that there was a non-binary person who is happy on a show. That really touched me, because this is a serious thing. It's not like there are so many shows that have this representation. There really aren't.

It's amazing!"
