But she spend way too much time on Walking Dead and didn't really use the popularity as a stepping stone to go after bigger and more ambitious roles. She had it all to be something like Jennifer Lawrence. But she missed the boat.
shareI don't think she is movie star material. Apparently she was not paid fairly on TWD ... none of the actors were paid a lot ... except Norman Reedus for some reason. I read that Norman was paid more than Andrew Lincoln for his weird whiny crossbow toxin' roll of Daryl. Maybe they just had too many people in the cast. I used to like this show a lot.
shareWhy do you think she is not movie star material?
shareI don't mean she does not have the looks or talent, but her choice of roles, and her .. kind of introverted personality. She was perfect as Maggie Greene and their story with Glenn was really great. It seems like she doesn't enjoy being a celebrity that much, which is a good thing in my book.
shareAndrew Lincoln was the highest paid member of the cast. Norman Reedus asked for more money to take the lead when Lincoln left and they gave it to him. Pretty dumb if they didn't.
shareI always liked her more natural look in Walking Dead but to be objective she started in film and then went to TV and maybe her choice of roles hasn't been that great. Which has led to her not being as big as she possibly could have been.
shareShe's generically attractive and looks too interchangeable with other actresses. Unless she gets a better agent like the mediocre Zach Efron who keeps getting high profile work despite his bland acting presence she'll be stuck where she is.
I feel the same way about her costar who played Rick's wife. I can't even remember her name, but I remember seeing her in supporting roles after they killed her off, but felt that she could probably get better roles if she had a better agent/management.
yah
