spanky1 12/27/19 4:42:48 PM #16:	Oh and the only criticism of the actress I've seen from fans is that shes not right for the part because of acting reasons, and its true as far as I can tell. Not because she doesnt look right, but because she doesnt play Triss well. Like if you on the sub reddits for the show, they'll say they love the actress for yen, but dont like the one for triss.
