saw her on a SVU episode and had to post. SVU usually has great special guests but she had to be the worst I have seen. Her acting didn't seem at all convincing and emotions seemed wierd.I can't believe she even made the cut.

I hope so, because I'm watching that episode for the first time, right now, and she's just awful. Just really, really awful.
Her delivery is so sluggish. I can actually count her reaction time on my watch. No fluidity at all. Either she was fried when she was in this one, or someone put a rubber band on her tongue for the duration of each shoot. -

She didn't play a schizo, she played a girl with multiple personality disorder quite different from schizophrenia

Just finished watching "The Tortured" and thought she was awful, too.
The film is no masterpiece, but she really brings it down.
Can't pinpoint exactly what's wrong with her performance, but it's grating.
Only watched a couple of her films (can't remember her in the so so "Flightplan"), but I seriously hope she is a better actress than she shows here. -

I will agree that she is bad. She is on Parenthood now and her acting is really wooden. Also, she plays a mother on that show and she always looks like she is trying way too hard to act older than she is in real life! Not buying it

What makes you think she gets hired for her acting skills?

I dunno, I think she is pretty good in Parenthood. I think the character she plays can be withdrawn and emotionally unavailable and that's how the acting comes across. I'm not getting wooden, but I can see how someone who is like that may come across as wooden.

more than just miscast. a good actor can make the most of their role, even if it doesn't fit them. she clearly didn't have the honed skills necessary to pull off being an fbi agent. i don't follow her, so maybe she's better nowadays.
