Who has played nurse, Claire Temple, in the Netflix series, "Marvel's Daredevil"?

The story behind the answer

Rosario Dawson played nurse Claire Temple in Marvel’s Daredevil. Dawson first appeared as Claire in the show’s 2015 first season, where the character discovers an injured Matt Murdock and becomes involved in the dangerous world surrounding Daredevil.

Claire works at Metro-General Hospital and uses her medical training to treat people who cannot safely visit a hospital, including masked vigilantes. Her compassion and practical judgment make her an important civilian connection to New York’s street-level heroes. Dawson’s performance also helped make Claire one of the most recognizable supporting characters in Marvel’s Netflix-era television shows.

Claire later appeared in Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders, helping connect those series. Viewers sometimes confuse her with Night Nurse, a separate Marvel Comics identity associated with Linda Carter. The television version of Claire Temple combines elements of the comic-book Claire with the Night Nurse concept, but Rosario Dawson is the actress who portrayed Claire in Daredevil. Dawson’s role is also distinct from the film character Christine Palmer, played by Rachel McAdams.
