Ali Larter is not fazed by the criticism her character, Angela, received for her sexual storyline in the Taylor Sheridan series Landman. The 49-year-old actress recently spoke out about the backlash, saying she's comfortable with her character's portrayal.

Larter, who stars alongside Billy Bob Thornton in the series, told The Hollywood Reporter that "nobody's putting me in a position that I'm not comfortable being in." She also mentioned that she tries to keep herself at arm's length when it comes to online reactions to her work.

Instead of feeling self-conscious about the response to her Landman character, Larter felt empowered by the story. "If there was something I was uncomfortable with, I wouldn't do it," she said. "What's more uncomfortable is that people are so uncomfortable by their sexuality."

Larter's approach to her flirtatious and confident character is similar to that of Michelle Randolph, who plays her daughter. Randolph previously told PEOPLE it was "interesting watching the audience reaction" to her character because she'd been sitting with Ainsley for so long at that point that it was "old news."
