My Take
Mattsson is a familiar face if you watch a lot of American genre TV and film, even if her name doesn't always stick. She made the leap from Stockholm to Hollywood and carved out a steady working-actor career with appearances in things like Iron Man 2 and a stint on Desperate Housewives. I have a soft spot for Swedish performers who break into the American market on their own terms, and she's done solid work in the kind of thrillers and dramas that keep an actor genuinely busy rather than just famous. A dependable presence who deserves more lead roles.
