Hated her character on Dexter....


First of all she was ugly, but I don't judge people's apperance as it wasn't their fault they weren't born attractive. However, throwing f-words every other sentences, changing boyfriends like every 5 seconds just makes me want to punch her ugly mug so bad...

Btw her performance really sucked in season 1 but progresses as the series went on, it started to culminate by season 7.

I don't see the point of calling people ugly to justify their acting. It seems you're ugly too just for saying this.

reply

Agreed. I hate people who go to the Internet to just bag on people. I personally think she is beautiful, and not that it has anything to do with her acting but... I think she is a phenomenal actress. I wish she did more roles!

Just to bring some balance back to this board - bad bad actress unless you're looking for overacting in a big big way and so ugly she is a three bagger.

I say, steady on chaps, no more red bull for you. But, agreed on the point of mass over acting. She's the ultimate ham it up actress. Good vo, in Emily Rose. Credit where it is due.

Hated her in Emily Rose, she was constantly staggering through every scene with her jaw stuck out and hands shaped into claws. looked comical. Now when I see her on Dexter (which i SO want to love) it's all I can see. So I couldn't watch more than a couple episodes of Dexter.

Plus that first episode of Dexter, when she was dressed like a hooker because she was undercover in vice? When she walked she looked like a man who was wearing his GF's high heels for the first time.

She was great in 'Emily rose ' . She did what was required of her in spades . No actress could of pulled off that performance complete with distortions etc .

reply

I assume since her character is dead she will not be returning for the return. I imagine it would be awkward anyway working alongside her ex, Michael Hall.

reply

Well she continued to work with him even after their divorce so I doubt that would be an issue. She could come back in flashbacks or as a guiding spirit like James Remar did.
