28	----
29	!Tropes
30	* ActionGirl: She's known for playing them. She got the role on ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' specifically because the producers thought she was believable as MsFanservice and as an ActionGirl.
31	* TheCastShowoff: She gets to exhibit her fluency in Polish on ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' from time to time.
32	* FakeAmerican: She's most frequently cast as Americans.
33	* HowsYourBritishAccent: She 'pretended' to be Australian in an episode of ''Series/{{Chuck}}''.
34	* InkSuitActor: As Miranda Lawson in ''Franchise/MassEffect'', whose appearance is based on her aside from darker hair.
35	* MsFanservice: She's very often seen wearing revealing outfits or in sexy scenes in various works like ''Series/{{Chuck}}'', ''Series/{{Dexter}}'', ''Series/{{Louie}}'' or ''Franchise/MassEffect'' (by way of InkSuitActor).
36	* StarMakingRole: The show ''Series/{{Chuck}}''; the commercials made heavy use of just how incredibly beautiful she is, but when people watched the show it became clear she wasn't just a model hired for her looks. She delivered a consistent, complex, and at times powerful performance that has opened doors for her in Hollywood.
