The young actress, originally born as Chloe Wang in Chicago, didn’t adopt the name Chloe Bennet—taking her father’s first name—as her professional moniker until she returned to the United States after a short-lived pop career in China. From an early age, Chloe showed a deep passion for performing, diving into acting, dancing, and even mastering the saxophone throughout her school years. By the time she was just 13, Chloe had already joined the improvisational comedy group Second City Youth Ensemble, showcasing her natural flair for entertainment.
Her journey then took her to Beijing, where Chloe released two pop singles: “Uh Oh,” recorded in both Mandarin and English, and “Every Day In Between.” After moving back to the States in 2010, Chloe landed a co-hosting role on the Nickelodeon variety show The Nightlife alongside Nick Cannon and Aaron Fresh. Though the series was ultimately canceled, it served as a crucial platform that helped Chloe gain visibility. This exposure led to her being cast as the lead in ABC’s drama pilot Intercept in 2012. While the show didn’t get picked up for a full season, Chloe’s performance left a strong impression—her charm and screen presence were undeniable.
That breakout moment opened new doors, and Chloe soon appeared in a recurring role as Hailey on the country-tinged drama Nashville, which aired on ABC from 2012 to 2016 and later moved to CMT. It was clear that ABC had taken a liking to Chloe Bennet, and they weren’t done with her yet. In 2013, she was cast as one of the main leads in one of the most talked-about new shows of the year: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This series marked the return of acclaimed creator Joss Whedon to television and was a groundbreaking moment as the first official Marvel TV series directly connected to the blockbuster Marvel/Disney cinematic universe—including ties to Iron Man (2008), Thor (2011), and The Avengers (2012). Chloe played Skye, a bold and rebellious computer hacker affiliated with the activist group The Rising Tide, who eventually joins a top-tier team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Her portrayal brought energy, depth, and relatability to the role, making her a fan favorite.
During breaks between seasons of the hit show, Chloe stayed busy with voice work in animated projects like Tinker Bell and the Legend of the Never Beast (2015) and Jake and the Never Land Pirates (2015). She also took on a leading role in the 2018 musical remake of the 1983 cult classic Valley Girl, further proving her versatility as an actress. Through every step of her evolving career, Chloe Bennet has continued to build momentum, turning each opportunity into a meaningful chapter in her journey.
When it comes to Chloe Bennet’s career highlights, one project really stands out—Chloe Bennet’s highest rated film to date is Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors from 2018. It was well-received by both fans and critics alike, showcasing Chloe Bennet’s strong voice performance and connection to the superhero genre. On the other hand, not every project has hit the same high notes. For instance, Valley Girl (2020), while fun and lighthearted, ended up being Chloe Bennet’s lowest rated movie so far. Still, it’s worth noting that even in less acclaimed roles, Chloe Bennet brings energy and charm. Overall, Chloe Bennet continues to build a diverse portfolio, with her work in Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors remaining a standout moment in her filmography.
