'''Harley Cubberley''' is an Anglo-Irish actress and artist.

She is best known for her roles in the films ''Film/DisembodiedHitman'', ''Takbir'', ''WebVideo/MrPeterson'' and ''Scarlet'', particularly in the horror genre.

!!Tropes associated with her work:

* ActorInspiredElement:[[invoked]] She designed her own makeup for her scene in ''Film/DisembodiedHitman'', feeling that [[YourMakeupIsRunning the running mascara]] would look very striking on camera.
* AwesomeDearBoy:[[invoked]]
** She took the small role of Bonnie Clyde in ''Mr Peterson'' because it was a chance to play a murderer rather than a victim (see below).
** She starred in the film ''Bronach'' because it was an excuse to dress like a Goth.
* TheCastShowOff:[[invoked]]
** She sings in ''Wolf at the Crossroads''.
** For the music video "Don't Go" for The Answers in Between, she had to draw a portrait of her co-star live on camera.
* ChronicallyKilledActor: Often plays a murder victim who dies horribly. Even in ''Scarlet'', the titular vampire declares that she'll kill Denise after the credits roll.
* CreatorChosenCasting:[[invoked]] The 'Hot Babe' role in the ''Film/FatalDeviation'' parody ''Deadly Divergence'' was written for her.
* DyeingForYourArt:[[invoked]] In ''Undying Heart'', she had to perform a zombie fight scene while wearing white contacts that impaired her vision.
* FakeAmerican:[[invoked]] In a film called ''The Getaway''.
* FunnyCharacterBoringActor:[[invoked]] Inverted. She identifies as a PerkyGoth in real life and finds it strange wearing "normal person clothes" for a lot of her roles.
* LoopingLines:[[invoked]] While editing ''Deadly Divergence'' it was decided that the GoryDiscretionShot of her beating up Callum Meylart should have a series of {{Pre Ass Kicking One Liner}}s, and she improvised something that was then dubbed over.
* MistakenNationality: She's often mistaken for Australian.
* NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals:[[invoked]] In the horror film ''Worms'', she had to film scenes in a bed with live maggots.
* PlayingAgainstType:[[invoked]] In ''The Casting Man'', she plays a moody actress known for nudity that drops [[CountryMatters the C bomb]].
* ProductionPosse:[[invoked]] She's been directed by Sean Brien in ''Takbir'', ''Scarlet'' and ''Wolf at the Crossroads''. All three films were produced by Creator/GregYoung, who also directed her in ''Deadly Divergence'', and she directed ''Flower Song'', which was written by him. They also starred together in the former, ''Scarlet'' and ''Mr Peterson'' (though had no scenes together).
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Ironically in the one vampire film she's done (''Scarlet''), she plays a vampire ''hunter''.
* UsefulNotes/ScreamQueens: She's been in numerous horror films, and made a few herself, as a big horror fan.
* TypeCasting:[[invoked]] Often plays murder victims.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:[[invoked]]
** She filmed an alternate variant of her scene in ''The Casting Man'' with an American accent, but Dean Houlihan preferred her natural voice.
** She's been attached to an Ozploitation parody based around the 1932 Emu War titled ''The Ballad of Bonnie Roo'' since 2020 but so far nothing has materialised.
