28 | !!Tropes: |
29 | * AwesomeDearBoy: She took a role in ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'' because she watched the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' cartoons as a child and wanted to work with Creator/StanleyTucci. |
30 | * CreatorBacklash: She did not enjoy her work in ''Series/{{Spooks}}'' because she felt her character was underwritten. She has also referred to ''Out of Bounds'', a psychological thriller she starred in, as "shit". |
31 | * CreatorBreakdown: She went into a deep depression after ''Moonlight'' was cancelled and was unable to work for a whole year. She also briefly considered quitting acting altogether while struggling to find roles after the birth of her son. |
32 | * FakeAmerican: As Audrey in ''ComicBook/ArtSchoolConfidential'', Beth in ''Series/{{Moonlight}}'' and Rebecca in ''Series/ADiscoveryOfWitches''. |
33 | * FakeIrish: As Isolde in ''Film/TristanAndIsolde''. |
34 | * MsFanservice: Her roles frequently emphasize her beauty, and she's had a nude scene or two in her time. |
35 | * RomanceOnTheSet: She and her ''Doctor Who'' co-star Creator/DavidTennant dated for a while after filming "The Girl in the Fireplace", breaking up in 2007. |
36 | * StarDerailingRole: ''Film/{{Thunderbirds}}'' bombed so badly that it hurt her career in the process, with ''Film/TristanAndIsolde'' derailing it on film in 2006 while ''Series/{{Moonlight}}'' snuffed it on television in 2008. She hasn't starred in many big projects since aside from ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction''. |
