Tropes

- Everything Is Big in Texas: She hails from Texas and has mentioned in interviews that she takes pride in that fact.
- Hidden Depths: She played cello in bands before becoming an actress and still does.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: She’s 5’5" so her co-stars tend to tower over her. Ironically, her co-star Emma Stone is only an inch taller.
- Ms. Fanservice: Her shower scene with Jussie Smullet in Alien: Covenant though it quickly turns into Fan Disservice.
- Older Than They Look: She’s almost 30 but looks 25.
- Promoted Fanboy: Is a huge Alien fan so when Ridley Scott asked her to join the cast, she accepted right off.Callie Hernandez: “Ridley Scott offered me a job and I said yes, blindly. I don’t even know what part I’m playing, I had no script, I had nothing to go off of.”
- Rags to Riches: She lived on her friends couches for a few years while trying to get acting gigs because she had very little money. Fast-forward to 2017 and she’s part of a film nominated for Best Picture, a sequel to a classic franchise and shows no signs of slowing down.
