Not quite the household name that the other members of the cast are counted as, Cline delivers what appears to be a star-making performance in a role that showcases her comedic chops. Whiskey is the Twitch-managing assistant and girlfriend to Bautista’s men’s rights activist, Duke Cody. And Whiskey seems to be going along with Duke’s schtick in the hopes to leverage it into her own internet fame. She also has her own special relationship with Edward Norton’s Miles Bron, the billionaire at the center of Glass Onion’s story. To say more would be to spoil some of the fun and intrigue in Johnson’s knotty comedy-thriller. It’s fitting that Cline’s breakout role is happening on Netflix, as it’s largely where her biggest career moments have happened thus far. In 2017, Cline appeared in the second season of Stranger Things as Hawkins High School student Tina, who takes an interest in new student Billy Hargrove and throws a Halloween Party in which several of the main characters attend. Given what happens to Billy in Stranger Things 3, perhaps it was for the best she never got too close… Meanwhile, in 2020, Cline landed a starring role on Netflix’s teen drama Outer Banks as Sarah Cameron, a member of the wealthy “Kook” clan who enjoys mixing it up with lower class “Pogues.” The series has been renewed for a third season that is set to premiere sometime in 2023. After her role in Glass Onion, we’re sure Cline’s resume will begin to fill up. Given her relative lack of familiarity with audiences, the Whiskey character could be the breakout role that leads to more film and television work, as well as more attention in the press (ahem, as seen here). You can now watch Cline and the rest of the talented Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery cast on Netflix right now.
