About Dianne Doan
Dianne Doan plays Yidu in Vikings and Mai Ling in Warrior. Her other television work includes Lonnie in Descendants, Kate in Good Trouble and Kora in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The difference between those settings is substantial: family-oriented fantasy, contemporary drama, superhero television and a period action series all form part of her screen work.
Warrior is the strongest next stop for viewers who want an extended character arc after Yidu. Descendants offers a distinct introduction to another part of her audience, while Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is an additional genre route. Doan’s Warrior is separate from the Danish series of the same English title featuring Marco Ilsø.
