* AwesomeDearBoy:[[invoked]] She says that she signed on to ''Series/OnceUponATime'' because it was the type of show she knew she'd be addicted to. Additionally Disney/SnowWhite was her favourite Disney Princess.

* HollywoodHypeMachine: In the 2000s she got a minor push, headlining a few romantic comedies and getting plenty of magazine covers. Her films did well but she didn't do another one in between ''Film/SomethingBorrowed'' and ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' - which is a five year gap. However, she was chosen to headline ''Series/OnceUponATime'', though she's slowed down since becoming a mother.
* InkSuitActor: Judy Hopps in ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' looks a lot like her, despite being a bunny.

* TypeCasting:[[invoked]] As a wholesome GirlNextDoor type. She plays with this in ''Series/OnceUponATime'' as her Storybrooke persona is this, but Snow White is actually a LadyOfWar. ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' is something of a merger between the two, where her character is a ThePollyanna PluckyGirl.

* PlayingAgainstType:[[invoked]] She plays Johnny Cash's jealous first wife in ''Film/WalkTheLine''.

* TypeCasting:[[invoked]] As a wholesome GirlNextDoor type. She plays with this in ''Series/OnceUponATime'' as her Storybrooke persona is this, but Snow White is actually a LadyOfWar. ''{{Disney/Zootopia}}'' is something of a merger between the two, where her character is a ThePollyanna PluckyGirl.

* ActorAllusion:[[invoked]] In both ''Film/SomethingBorrowed'' and ''Series/OnceUponATime'' she's had an affair with a married man. And the wife is blonde in both too! And the man's name starts with a D.

* OneOfUs:[[invoked]] Is a huge ''Literature/HarryPotter'' fan and claims she cried TearsOfJoy when she got her wand in Ollivanders at the theme park. Presumably this is also why she's nicknamed 'Ginny' by her friends.

* BoyishShortHair: She had long hair early in her career but opts to keep it short these days, claiming she finds long hair too difficult to manage.
* ContractualPurity: She says that "nudity is for my boyfriend or my doctor."

* DyeingForYourArt: [[invoked]] Inverted. She refuses to grow her hair long for roles, having it written into her contract that she'll just wear a wig if long hair is required.

* CastingGag: [[invoked]] It's widely publicised about how often she and Jennifer Morrison were mistaken for each other earlier in their careers. So they cast them to play mother and daughter on ''Series/OnceUponATime''.

* HideYourPregnancy:[[invoked]]
** In Season 3 of ''Series/OnceUponATime'' her pregnancy was written in, but the familiar tricks were visible early on (wearing big coats, shot from only the chest up etc.) - and the Season 3 finale featured time travel and it was very obvious when they cut back from archive footage to new stuff (as Snow gains an obvious double chin).
** Used again in the second half of Season 5. Presumably because Creator/EmilieDeRavin was also pregnant and hers was written in, they just opted to put Snow in big coats and wrote her out for a couple of episodes.

* InkSuitActor: Most of Judy Hopps's facial expressions are modeled around Ginnifer's and the character resembles her greatly, in spite of being a bunny.
* PlayingAgainstType:[[invoked]] She plays Johnny Cash's jealous first wife in ''Film/WalkTheLine''.
* PromotedFanboy: [[invoked]] ''Disney/SnowWhite'' was her favourite Disney movie, and she'd been told by many friends that she was alarmingly like the princess in real life. As a result, she jumped at the chance to play her. She's gone onto work with Disney since.

* RomanceOnTheSet:[[[invoked]] Dated her on-screen boyfriend Josh Dallas and eventually married him.
* StarMakingRole: [[invoked]] ''Series/BigLove'' helped bring her to national attention.
* ThrowItIn: [[invoked]] For Judy's tearful apology to Nick in ''{{Disney/Zootopia}}'', she burst into tears for real in the studio.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Well her name is actually Jennifer but she claims 'Ginnifer' is how she pronounced it with her original accent - so she made it her StageName.

* TypeCasting: [[invoked]] As a wholesome GirlNextDoor type. She plays with this in ''Series/OnceUponATime'' as her Storybrooke persona is this, but Snow White is actually a LadyOfWar. ''{{Disney/Zootopia}}'' is something of a merger between the two, where her character is a {{Literature/Pollyanna}} PluckyGirl.
