Part 3/12:
Importantly, the character description for Ryan Wilder was released well before Leslie's casting was announced. It portrayed her as a chaotic, messy, and fiercely skilled former drug runner living in a van, with a background that included criminal activity and a connection to nature, particularly talking to plants. This description was part of formal casting notices and was known to auditioning actors, meaning Leslie was aware of the character's backstory before auditioning.
