Maya Erskine, known for her breakout show PEN15, is now starring in the TV series Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The show is based on the 2005 movie and follows a couple who bumble through their superspy assignments. Erskine's character, Jane Smith, is a romantic lead who navigates the world tactically and shows vulnerability when her guard is down. The creators of the show chose Erskine for the role after Phoebe Waller-Bridge left, and Erskine's comedic talent and ability to play an outcast suited the character well. Erskine is also working on other projects, including an HBO series based on a book by Leïla Slimani. Despite the success of her work, Erskine is mindful of how her projects are received and is learning to develop a thicker skin. [Extracted from the article]
