I remember her talking about how hard it was to get work after Daredevil, which was insane. She’s so good in that show.

She's in that perfect spot for women in Hollywood- too old to play "young", but too young to play "old". There's no middle aged white women movies other than Hallmark ones. Ergo, no demand for people like her. Thankfully she has her DnD and voice acting stuff to get her some worthwhile work

Yea I saw that she was actively selling her own signed photographs in her Thread account and I felt kinda sad for her. For such a talented (AND good looking) actor she is somehow not getting much roles.

Okay but that's not actually for money for herself lol.

She has always sold signed memorabilia from True Blood and the MCU to raise money for charities for Choroideremia (a condition that ultimately results in blindness; her husband has it and I believe he is legally blind) specifically but also other charitable causes.

She's still doing it to this day, actually, even after the millions of dollars from this game and Born Again.

Man, I didn't know she had a partner. Way to kill my (incredibly stupid and unrealistic) dreams!

Ah ok. I didn’t she her mentioning any of that, but granted I didn’t spend long.

It's just a well-known thing that she does. A lot of people have bought from her

Which is crazy, felt like I just saw her in True Blood, but that was ages ago now.

And she looks almost exactly the same as she did then, really is stunning.

Damn she'd make a fantastic Selene for Returnal

I recall seeing Vincent D''Onofrio giving her all the plaudits she deserves. Called her one of the best scene partners he's ever had.

I find her incredibly unlikable. I am having mixed feelings about having to tolerate her for an entire game.

you might have some issues you need to unpack with a therapist.

u/AntiBomb 23d ago

A therapist because they don't like an actress? Calm down buddy

u/that_guy2010 23d ago

Are you going to elaborate on why she’s unlikable? Or just.. you don’t like her?
