Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Diane Farr
twain237 — 19 years ago(February 04, 2007 11:25 PM)
I hate to say it, but I just can't take Diane Farr seriously. For someone who has an impressive resume and lots of fine training, I think she is a horrible actress. I think her voice is too naisly, her timing is bad, her delivery of dialouge is worse.
I've been watching season two of Numbers on DVD and I feel that this woman can not act her way out of a paper bag. I am watching episode after episode and wondering how in the hell did this woman get this role? There is one episode with a kid who witnessed his mother being shot and as I am watching I am thinking "My God, this kid is doing a better job at acting than this new girl."
Now to be fair, I've only seen her on Numbers, I haven't seen any of her other work and I am very sure she is a fine writer and one hell of a producer, but the acting thing is not doing it for me. -

I have to agree. I don't think she's
terrible
, but she's not believable in that role. Two things that add to the lack of cred:- She has a degree in psychology (I think..I haven't watched this show from the beginning so I've only heard references that imply she does). I don't mean that her character isn't smart enough like some stereotypical airheaded bimbo, she just doesn't seem the type.
- Her relationship with Dr. Fleinhardt. They could not be more mismatched, as Colby Granger (woof!sorry) constantly alludes to.

Chemistry is everything!!!
If you watched the first season and then the second, you will see that Diane Farr has more chemistry with the other actors than the first girl. I thought the first girl was ok but Diane Farr is definitely, in my opinion, the better choice. Bringing her in was the best thing that could have happened to Numb3rs!
I am a huge fan of Numb3rs and I love Diane Farr!!! I have seasons 1 and 2 on DVD and I look forward to more. I also watch the new episodes every Friday night.
One last thing, I can't wait for Peter McNichols to come back. I love Kathy Najimy but it's not the same without Peter. Hopefully, when Peter comes back, they will keep Kathy as a posible love interest for Don and Charlie's father.
Diane Farr is beautiful in her own way and is a great actress. I hope to see more of her on television and in movies.
Go Diane Farr and Numb3rs!!!! -

You are definitely the one mistaken here, for no other reason then the fact that the only evidence in your favor is that "Shes the 3rd best character on NUMB3RS, and she does a terrific job with her role.".
I agree with the aforementioned posts particularly the one that said her timing is poor, and she delivers her lines like she is reading them out of a book. She doesn't come off even nearly as adept as her character requires.
Every time she brings up something about behavioral science I wonder at how this women could have possibly received a degree in what is her main course of study. Very, very poor acting. -

I wouldn't say her acting was bad, it just didn't seem to "fit" as an agent in Numb3rs. I think if she had one of the academic roles on the show, her style would have been perfect. Simple case of miscasting.
O' well wonder if Tia Texada is her replacement? -

I wonder do the person who made this thread work in hollywood, because if you don't, maybe you just need to keep non positive comments to yourself.

I always wonder why people who claim not to be a fan of some person's work, nevertheless come to their boards just to be negative. If you don't like her, why are you wasting your time here? Nothing better to do?
She's intelligent, imaginative, talented, warm, funny, and very womanly, in a really inspiring way, and that's something I say about almost no one, esp. of people in Hollywood. Nothing about her is fake not her body, not her hair, face she's true to herself. She's hilarious, witty, she's written a bookand in a profession where most of the union members are unemployed, she's carved out a very satisfying niche for herself, which I hope will expand and work well for her for a long and admired career.
Find someone you do like, and go be positive! -

Totally agree! As a fan of "Rescue Me", I was, needless to say, RELIEVED when her character left the show. Her voice itself is just plain annoying and I couldn't take it! I will honestly say that I haven't seen her in anything else, but I wouldn't venture out to say that I'd want to either.
Annie please, for God's sake..
