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.

I didn't think she was that great on SVU, but not that bad either.
She was a bit stilted in "Swimfan", she seemed to try too hard in some scenes.
But she was believable.

I haven't seen her in much, I'll admit. But I think she's great in Parenthood! I totally believe her as a working woman/ loving mother. Some people might think that the mom role is easy to play, but I would disagree. You have to form tangible bonds with the actors playing your family members, and I absolutely see that. There's a certain sort of chemistry that has to be present (especially in a show about parenthood, obviously), and it seems that some actors have a lot of trouble with that. It's quite the opposite with Christensenand everyone on the show. It's just my opinion, but I think some people's comments are a bit harsh.

I'm watching "How to Rob a Bank" right now, and she if perfect for the role imo. The chemistry between her and Nick Stahl is very beleivable. In fact this is the first thing that I have really watched with her in it and I was impressed enough to look her up here.

I don't understand why all these people think she's so bad. I think she's a good actress, especially in Traffic, she did great in that movie. It sounds like some of these people just have nothing better to do than to hate on an easy target (ie celebrities). But to each their own I guess. And while everyone has their own opinions, I also think some of these are just plain old harsh.

I just saw How To Rob A Bank.. totally bemused. She is so blah. Absolutely no emotion, terrible timing. I've observed her through the years in other stuff, SVU, Swimfan etc.. unimpressed to the nth. I do not get it. At all.

I disagree, I just watched her in an older episode of "Lie to me", where she plays a woman with Multiple personalities.. She plays 4 separate and distinctive personalities and does a very good job.. Matter of fact, that's why I'm here today, looking for other work she's done that I can watch..

See her in "Home Room" for those who say she is wooden and cannot act; she's quite the opposite in that film. Haven't really seen her in much besides that except "Swimfan" and "Leave it to Beaver" and I don't really think I can judge her acting abilities on those films but I'm sure she's pretty decent in other things. She's smoking on top of that.

Swimfan's on and I thought, from the wooden acting, I'd seen her before. Yep. The same one who was horrible on Law and Order: SVU is just as bad in this flick. Wooden, monotonous voice, absolutely no emotion in delivering her lines.
