Once "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." ended, Tamara Taylor went from playing one deadly lady right into another. Though her "Law & Order: Organized Crime" character Angela Wheatley was a far more human sort of femme fatale, Taylor brought a similar veil of cool, calculating evil to the role. In doing so, her Angela very nearly proved the undoing of everybody's favorite "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" alum Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) in the spin-off series' first season.
As it happened, Taylor turned up in the pilot episode of "Organized Crime" playing the seemingly kind Columbia University professor ex-wife of New York crime boss Richard Wheatley (Dylan McDermott). If you're familiar with "Organized Crime," you know Stabler believed Richard Wheatley was responsible for the murder of his wife Kathy (Isabel Gillies). You likely also know Angela's kindly facade was just that, as the incredibly vindictive character proves to have had more of a hand in her ex-husband's dastardly dealings than anyone might've anticipated.
That includes Stabler himself, who is initially taken in by Angela's welcoming veneer, only to find out she is a legit wolf in sheep's clothing, and even played a direct hand in his wife's death. And that head-spinning revelation was indeed made all the more shocking because Taylor had imbued the character with such warmth and humanity prior to the reveal.
