In the recent Deputy episode, Bex Taylor Klaus' character has a discussion about identity struggles — likely introducing a large portion of the broadcast audience to the non-binary experience

opens with Stephen Dorff's titular character Bill Hollister interfering with an ICE raid, it should come as no surprise that the freshman cop drama has tackled complicated issues. During its Feb. 12 episode, the seventh of the season, the spotlight turned to Dorff's sidekick Brianna Bishop, played by Bex Taylor-Klaus .

"As I've grown up, I've taken on these characters that either match my trajectory, my growth, or challenge it. I've been beyond lucky. This whole adventure of the last eight years has been a whirlwind and when I look at roles, I want to be playing someone real. Someone with dimension. Someone with an opportunity for growth and/or a growth arc in the story," they toldThat's why they jumped at the chance to bring part of their personal story to millions of viewers.

The character has always been there. The spirit of the character I don't think has changed an iota throughout the whole process. And that's what I love so much — from the get go whoever envisioned Bishop knew from the start that they had someone interesting to play up against Hollister. The main things that changed were identity pieces, visual pieces, the aesthetic pieces, but the spirit has remained the same throughout all of Bishop's iterations, and I love that.

One of the things I love about Bishop having this conversation with Dr. Reyes is Paula is a doctor. Paula's a surgeon. Paula understands the intricacy of biology. But Paula has never had to explore the intricacy of identity and in that conversation we get to slide that in there in what to me feels like a very honest line: "I know biology, I know that there's more than two sexes and I don't understand the intricacies of identity.
