ashida Jones is the embodiment of what might once have been called a Renaissance man, but these days more often gets dubbed a multihyphenate.

It was definitely challenging. Joanna Sotomura, who plays Sunny, is a wonderful actress, and she was in a tent off-set with a helmet on with a super bright light shining in her eyes, and the camera would pick up her expressions and then translate them into the very lo-fi Sunny face. It took so many people to make the robot move and have articulate digits. But when we actually got to act with Joanna on Sunny's screen, that felt pretty real, pretty fast.
