"Bobbie is very physical so we wanted an actress who was very comfortable with being physical. An actress who never appeared to be intimidated in any situation but who could occupy as much space as any of the other cast and could be intimidating to them," the production said of Frankie Adams and the role.
The first look of Frankie Adams as Bobbie Draper has already been released, and fans are excited to see her. It looks like all is set for a good reception to the Kiwi actress.
