Her career has gone nowhere

Don't be so bloody patronising!
I'm sure the original poster knows her career as well as you.
He has a valid point - her career has gone exactly nowhere5b4.
It is sad as lots of people expected more, but true. She has made some bad decisions, given some seriously variable performances in recent years, has obvousily alienated herself from some studios, and the end result is she is reduced to playing supporting role (in a tacky, made for DVD release movie) to a 15 year-old whose regular MO is playing supporting role to another 15 year-old who wouldn't even be where she is unless her daddy was famous!
History tells us, almost without exception, unless you've made it way before you reach her age, you never will.
The poster was right.
Unless you have something intelligent, unpatronising and valid to say, say nothing should be your rule of thumb! -

She is now what about 26, she could still become more famous.
I have seen Ginger snaps, Last Casino, Insomnia and Freddy vs jason. But I have also seen ogre (or at least the first 15 min of it)
Straight-to-dvd movies are probably done by everyone but she needs to make good movie otherwise she may as well quit. (or just do more theather and what not)
About the belief thing: what belief, what beliefs exactly? not posing nude and such? If so I do not think posing nude will help her career. Acting in decent movies wil help her career.
"She's gone a lot further in TV and movies than I'll ever go"
That is not really a valid point, basicly it just means someone is more unkown than she is. Here in holland we have a guy who plays in a lot of commercials for a supermarket, and is more wel kown than she perhaps will ever be. It does not say anything. -

She might as well stay in Canada. All she does is alienate everybody that has ever gave her a job and worked with her by calling her roles beep she has gone as far as she is going to go.
Don't be surprised if you don't get invited back to dinner if you urinated in the soup bowl the f5b4irst time were invited. Her beep comment didn't just apply to her role,but to the writers,the director,the producers,and her fellow actors.
Call me a pessimist,but that ain't no way to make friends and build a career. -

I opine that she refuses to go to Hollywood because she knows the pitfalls of Tinseltown. Ever considered that she'd rather stay in Vancouver with her friends and family and horses than submit herself to the rat race in Hollywood where she might wind up washed up and dead? Where you lose all your privacy once you become famous? I believe that she's happy the way things are. She earns enough money to make a living and keeps a low profile and she doesn't have to worry about the latest headlines in the yellow press. She has enough talent to easily make it in Hollywood but she's just not keen on it.

I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death and only spurred on further by couch critics who have never actually had to been in her shoes, but I'll throw my own two cents out there.
Is she t5b4alented? Absolutely. She has one of those faces that could either be devious or trustworthy. She has range. Out of every thousand actors, one will get their big break and wind up in Oscar winning films; not cause they deserve it more, which a lot don't. It's about playing the game. When you walk into a casting call, it goes one of four ways. 1. The guy's decent and not a douchebag, so either 2. you get called back or you don't or 3. He is a douchebag and you don't beep him or don't get the role or 4. You beep him and don't get the role, because studio has final say and they always want at least one name per film to guarantee seats and DVD sales. If she isn't churning out Oscar films, she's probably not sleeping with directors, producers or studio executives and for that, I'm glad. I'd hate to see someone with talent sell themselves short in that way, which goes for any actress, really.
Like Burger said, "Ever considered that she'd rather stay in Vancouver with her friends and family and horses than submit herself to the rat race in Hollywood where she might wind up washed up and dead? Where you lose all your privacy once you become famous?" That's how it is. You have a better chance of having junk pushed on you on a set than making an honest friend. It's a sad fact. When you're working 12-18 hours a day, do you think everyone's drinking coffee?
If she's meant to hit Hollywood in the jaw, I'd like to see5b4 her do it on her own without taking the low road and if all I ever get to see her in is straight to DVD releases, that's fine, too. By the way, Chelan Simmons was also in Ogre and if you give it a chance and go by the actors not the lame plot, it's not half bad.
I never said I was smart. Just smarter than you. -

With the number of video games and animated films for adults out, that's not a bad idea at all. Lots of actresses supplement their income with voice over work.

I remember watching something about her on Youtube, where she said she didn't have internet. Hey, you tried. It's hard for actors now with even commercials going to larger scale names, making it even more difficult to get work, unless you're with ICM or CAA.

well i guess she has the internet now but honestly I'll believe its really her when she purchases a webcam and actually lets me see her because it could be some douche bag but i could be wrong. i did speak to her this morning and she said u actually got to do a voice over demo so who know.

I was thinking the same thing last night! I don't know how, but I noticed her 10 second role in 30 Days of Night sequel and thought she should be doing better things than that by now
I guess at the end of the day, it's all money.
Smile like you mean it
