* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: As has been widely publicised, she and Creator/GinniferGoodwin have frequently been mistaken for each other so many times. So they were a perfect fit to play mother and daughter in ''Series/OnceUponATime''. Abby Ross, who plays Emma as a teen, and Creator/MckennaGrace, who plays Emma as a child, also both have a strong resemblance to Jennifer Morrison too.

to:

!!Tropes!!Tropes:
* ActingInTheDark:[[invoked]] For ''Film/StarTrek2009'' she and many others were only given the scripts for their scenes to keep plot details secret.
* TheCastShowOff:[[invoked]] Jennifer actually has a background in musical theatre, and has shown off her singing in the ''Albion'' movie, as well as ''Once Upon A Time'''s MusicalEpisode.
* CelebrityResemblance: To Creator/GinniferGoodwin. Both had long dark hair around the same time they got famous, so they would often be mistaken for each other. And sometimes they would even sign autographs and give interviews as each other. So [[SeparatedAtBirthCasting naturally they play mother and daughter]] in ''Once Upon A Time''.
* DyeHard: She's naturally blonde but was known as a brunette for a while.
* DyeOrDie: She dyed her blonde hair brown and auditioned for ''{{Series/House}}''. Bryan Singer later saw tapes of her with blonde hair and went "this girl's great, we should test her against Jennifer."
* DyeingForYourArt:[[invoked]]
** She had been dyeing her hair brown for ''{{Series/House}}'' and - fed up at spending so much time getting it done by the studio department - went blonde for ''Series/OnceUponATime''.
** She also dyed her hair red for ''Some Girl(s)''.
* FakeGuestStar: In ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' she appeared in half the episodes of the season she guest starred in. She's the only guest star on the show to do that.
* ImportantHaircut: She was required to keep her hair long in ''Once Upon A Time''. As the sixth season was coming to an end, she cut it to shoulder length and just wore hair pieces for the remaining episodes.
* PlayingAgainstType:[[invoked]] Jennifer is often smart, strong women but not always...
** She has a small role as a drunk GenkiGirl in ''Knife Fight''.
** She was also a ditzy trophy wife in ''Big Stan''.
** ''Back Roads'' has her as a small town housewife who has an affair with a younger man.
* PlayingWithCharacterType:[[invoked]] Zoey in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' is a lot more antagonistic than Jennifer's usual strong, grounded characters. She's an outright SoapboxSadie in parts.
* RomanceOnTheSet:[[invoked]]
** With Jessie Spencer, who she starred alongside on ''House''.
** And Sebastian Stan, who appeared in a few ''Once Upon A Time'' episodes.
* SerendipityWritesThePlot:[[invoked]] She was written out of ''House'' because David Shore wanted to show that not every character around House was going to end up corrupt.




to:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:[[invoked]]
** She replaced Melanie Lynskey as the ditzy trophy wife Mindy in ''Big Stan''.
** She was offered the chance to return for ''Once Upon A Time'''s seventh season, but opted to leave the series. She did however return for one more episode and came BackForTheFinale.

Not an example. A coincidence is not an allusion.


* ActorAllusion: In ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' she was married to a man named 'The Captain'. In ''Series/OnceUponATime'' her love interest is Captain Hook. And in ''Film/StarTrek'' she was married to Captain Kirk's father.

The list on a creator page is only for items that have nowhere else to go. Items for Once Upon A Time, House, How I Met Your Mother go on their own pages.


* CreatorBacklash: She's disagreed with the show's creators on some of Emma's motivations - claiming that she became the Dark One to save the entire town as opposed to just Regina.
* DyeingForYourArt:
** She dyed her hair brown for ''{{Series/House}}''.
** By the time ''Series/OnceUponATime'' came along, she was still brunette but went back blonde to play Emma.



* PlayingWithCharacterType: Zoey in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' is like many of Jennifer's tough independent characters. However, rather than being heroic, she's a smug SoapboxSadie who torments Ted at every turn.
* RomanceOnTheSet: [[invoked]] Was previously engaged to her ''Series/{{House}}'' co-star Jesse Spencer. She also dated ''Series/OnceUponATime'' co-star Creator/SebastianStan for a year.
* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: She and Creator/GinniferGoodwin were mistaken for each other so often they started signing autographs and giving interviews as each other - making it very appropriate that they play mother and daughter. This is less of an issue now that they both have drastically different hairstyles.



* StarMakingRole: [[invoked]] Portraying [[Series/{{House}} Allison Cameron]] gave her a big push.
