No doubt she must've been offered tons of such parts from big studios. It's unfortunate that she never embraced it, but instead choose to star in minor roles in bad independent movies.

Carrie-Anne Moss had a skyrocketing career after she first appeared in the Wachowski brothers epic The Matrix trilogy in 1999. Her dynamic persona in the film was breathtaking- a truly tough female character that both women and men could like and feel intimidate by.
However, her choice of films following the trilogy are not equally memorable- with the sole exception being her role in Disturbia (2007). What could have caused this A-list actor to fall under the radar? It cant be said that the trilogy ruined her career, as Keanu Reeves is still counted among the A-list and has been receiving continuous roles since the trilogys completion.
While the answer may not be clear, there are some things that her decline could be attested to. For one, Moss had received such attention during the Matrix years that she may be trying to lay low; trying new types of films that challenge her as an actress. Two, she may have continued to pursue roles like hers in the Matrix, not realizing that this would mean sudden death to her career. Once you are typecast, there is not much that you can do to save yourself besides find a role that is completely opposite of you.
Whatever the reason is, lets hope that the dry spell passes soon and that we will see her dynamic personality in future films. As for all the future writers and actors out there, remember to keep diversifying! It could save your career!
How can you leave out 'Memento'?!
While some may consider her independent films "bad" or beneath her Carrie-Anne garnered many positive reviews and awards for those roles.
Again, she CHOSE to take smaller roles after getting married and having three children to devote time to her family which is admirable.
Carrie-Anne got married and had three children. She CHOSE to be a full time mother and only take roles that allowed her to be that.
shareyep women are limited due to family, childrearing etc, not many women forsake their family life for their career
shareYea having families always ruins everything.

I'm happy she didn't becuase then she would've been typecast.
I have an unbelievably long ignore list.

Would've been ok with me. You don't get to see many women who are action stars. She could have been a Zoe Bell, Milla Jovovich, and Gina Carano hybrid. Think it would have suited her better. Not to mention I would have loved to see her kicking more ass.
Les’see, owlfy: Dafne Keene, Zhang Ziyi, Michelle Yeoh, Shu Qi, Maggie Cheung, Jamie Chung, Lucy Lieu, Shannon Tweed, Cynthia Rothrock, Jaime Pressly, Devon Aoki, Holly Valence, Sara Carter, Natassia Malthe, Gal Godot, Kate Beckinsale, Charlize Theron and the queen of them all, Sandhal Bergman, the first convincing woman warrior in films that I ever saw. For starters.
You don’t really follow action movies, do you?
But, if, as I infer, your a CBM fan, then there is the queen of fake action stars, Scarlett Johansson.
