Yet this sweet, beautiful, talented actress gets none. WHY??? I pray to havens they make that Dredd sequel with her.
shareyes, I really wish she would get some of Anna Kendrick's parts, she plays the same character every damn time
shareAgree with OP
shareI hate to think it but I think Kristen Stewart has stolen her thunder. Like after Stewart did Twilight, she did all those artsy roles and suddenly everyone fell in love with her. And Thirlby really hasn't done anything since Dredd 3D.
shareOlivia either seems to be happy doing her own thing or she didn't strike when she had a bit of attention from Juno. She was 21 so perfect time and age for a young actress. She got some great reviews for her performance in that film and that was like the indie hit of that year, everyone from that film went on to do good things after it.
Looking at her C.V after Juno, the only things that got any traction where The Wackness (2008), No Strings Attached (2011), Being Flynn (2012), Dread (2012) and The Wedding Ringer (2015). And the only one of those where she had meaty enough role was in Dread. A lot of her other films have been small time indie work that barely anyone saw or big action films where she's in a supporting role.
It's seems it's TV where she seems to have done the work that's probably most known to a big audience stuff like Bored To Death, Goliath and The L Word: Generation Q.
The thing with Olivia, like many young actresses and actors who make a splash in a big hit indie film early in their careers. Some don't really go on and build on it not that they didn't try. Look at her C.V, she tried the big budget films but they flopped. Her indie films seem very niche and her roles in big commercial films were sadly all supporting. TV is where she seems to be doing well. Listen she's only 33, and you never know one big TV role or if she lands herself in another Juno like indie hit in the lead role and she could still be a star.
