IMDb suggests she is tied for being in the most episodes of any other actor save the titular one, so that's what I was working from. I apologize if my comments have hurt Disney's bottom line, which is of more value than any human life

I found her rather bland in Mandalorian -- she did certain actions the narrative required, I guess. But she never particularly caught my interest as a character (unlike a number of other secondary characters).

Controversy and inelegant self-expression aside, Gina Carrano was consistently the worst thing on The Mandalorian, deflating the emotion of her all of her scenes with dead-faced line delivery or a poorly placed smirk. The producers certainly share in the blame for her casting, and she really should have been replaced a long time ago, given her absence of craft or screen presence.

I get what Soderbergh was attempting to do with Carrano in Haywire (especially given his success with Sasha Gray in Girlfriend Experience), but in the end, that wasn't a performance, it was simply a record of her physicality. So, beyond that failed experiment, it was silly for anyone to hand her opportunities that so many unemployed or undiscovered actors are denied their entire lives.
