She played the vampire Dawn Green in the first season of HBO’s True Blood (2008), then Kayla Silverfox, Logan’s love interest, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009).
Her biggest studio lead was Dejah Thoris, the Martian princess, in John Carter (2012). Television has been her steadier home since: Manhunt: Unabomber (2017), Alicia Kent in Bosch (2020) and Leah Shaw in the final season of The Walking Dead (2021 to 2022).
Where to start
- John Carter (2012): her biggest studio lead, and a sharper heroine than the pulp source might suggest.
- X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009): Kayla Silverfox gives the film its emotional anchor.
- 13 Going on 30 (2004): an early supporting turn in a comedy that has aged well.
