"Not getting typecast means saying no to a lot of things," said Olivia Munn, who plays Monica Reed on the sci-fi thriller The Rook. Munn, who has also played Psylocke on X-Men: Apocalypse and Sloan Sabbith on The Newsroom, is an actress of Vietnamese descent on her mother's side. However, she has worked hard to ensure that she hasn't been stereotyped because of the roles she takes.
