27
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''.
