Wrong pick for Snow White


I've been a fan since the beginning, but I've always disliked the casting for Snow White.

It's not about her short hair vs long hair, it's not about her weight gain or anything, I just don't believe she is a good actress.

The plot is very character driven and her character, no matter what situation she is in, seems flat and awkward. I understand no one on the show is really a ~phenomenal~ actor but ugh, wrong choice.

I kind of agree. It's not that I dislike her as an actress but as I'm binge watching once upon a time on Netflix, I just don't buy her as snow white. I can't quite put my finger on it. She doesn't ruin the show for me or anything but she comes off as very insincere, like when she has a crying scene and she has that smile on her face the whole time.

She also makes a very poor Fawn in Legend of the NeverBeast. She does not even try to sound like Angela Bartyls or America Ferrera. What a disappointment.

I like her Snow White very much so. She is very believable as a person who just wants good things for everyone, a person who radiates empathy.

Alright seen more seasons and now I understand. Ginnifer had a baby and lost her slim body? Yeah maybe she doesn't look like the fairest of them all girl Snow White any more, but now she looks like mother Snow White. She WAS a very good pick for young Snow White too, in my opinion.

Lexa is  cute!

I agree. I always thought she was an odd pick for the role. So I thought maybe she will win me over with the acting, sadly that did not happen for me. I'll still watch the show though.

She wouldn't have been the first actress to enter my head for the role, but I actually think she's fine.

Yes me too, I agree with you completely. I've got 4 episodes of season 5 left and I have lost all interest in the show now. She's not on her own when it comes to poor acting though so she kind of blends in? The storyline and everything else about OUAT camouflages her inabilities...

I thought the same, but she won me over with her genuine face expression. However, since seasons 3-4 she started to look like a pumpkin. I can't help it, I don't get her anymore, she looks like a soccer mom and that's it.
