    “…I’m not a bad actress,” she told Elle during their drinking game ‘Thirst Trap’. “I’ve just done some projects that don’t showcase me in the way that I should be showcased. Okay?

    Uhhh okay… I’ll write off the rando part / nude scene in True Detective… or the riveting performance in San Andreas…

    …or how she played “pretty girl” in the Squid and the Whale… or how she knocked it out of the park as “girlfriend” in the Jonas Brothers 3d concert experience… or that riveting turn in Percy Jackson or in “chainsaw 3d” or “baywatch” or that award winning adaptation of the “rampage” arcade game… or her turn in “all my children”?

    I have friends that starred in law and order and went on to make more of a difference on this planet. Of course they did more than act after that turn. She is rich and well kept, what did the world miss?

    I had no idea “thirst trap” meant “actor’s studio”… fucking tell it to James Lipton

      Left out her largest most recent role in The White Lotus. She’s not amazing but not bad. But with all of those mentions above I guess I’ve only seen like 3 things she’s been in because none of them are those movies.

        It was a bit role in one season of a show. No different than her turning True Detective though this time she didn’t take off her clothes. If that’s her big role then my point still stands.

    She’s one of my favourite, but not because of her acting. Lol

    She’s not great but she’s also not terrible.
