Carrie-Anne Moss, who starred as Trinity in The Matrix (1999), revealed she never expected to land the iconic role. The Matrix follows hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves), who discovers the world he lives in is a simulation controlled by sentient machines, and joins a rebellion to liberate humanity. Mosss character, Trinity, is a skilled hacker and fierce leather-clad warrior, who becomes both Neos ally and love interest, and her performance solidified her as a memorable cyberpunk heroine in modern sci-fi cinema. Though The Matrix quickly became a critical and commercial success, Mosss path to securing the role was anything but simple.
