Tropes
- Action Girl: She has played a few of these, such as agent Isabella Molina in Rush Hour 2, CIA Officer Lisa Morales in Act of Valor and FBI Agent Elena Delgado in Without a Trace.
- The Cast Showoff: In Devious Maids, Carmen is an aspiring singer and dancer and can play the piano in Alejandro's house. Roselyn Sanchez is an accomplished singer.
- Deleted Role: She has a cameo in a Deleted Scene in Rush Hour 3, reprising her role as Isabella Molina.
- Ms. Fanservice: Her sex appeal is usually a big part of her characters and she gets plenty of scenes in revealing clothes, occasionally goes topless and has sex scenes.
- Spicy Latina: She usually plays roles of Ms. Fanservice Latinas, but it's downplayed in that her characters are usually smarter than the stereotype suggests.
- What Could Have Been: She auditioned for the role of Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives, but lost out to her friend, Eva Longoria.
