Tropes
- As Herself: She played herself in an episode of Entourage.
- Ms. Fanservice: Frequently plays sexy characters, and her roles often have her wearing revealing outfits.
- What Could Have Been:
- She auditioned for the part of Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Voyager.
- She was the original choice for the title role in Xena: Warrior Princess, but was unable to fly to New Zealand due to an illness. A replacement had to be found quickly in New Zealand and so Lucy Lawless was cast.
