You're absolutely right...those two roles were horrible. You can add
American Pie 1 and
2 to this list as well as
Caffine and probably a few others.
In short, her agent sucks.
She tried to do drama in 2001 but unfortunately she chose
The Musketeer.
I'm willing to see how things go in
Sex and Lies in Sin City (TV) rumoured for 2008 later this year.
She does have the whiny, spoiled, under 25, airhead image to ditch, but she is a striking blonde (I am judging all candidates by the descriptions of Gia leading up to and including the party at the United Nations in
The Tomb). Granted, looking good does not mean someone can act, but my first two choices (Charlize and Kate) have both the looks and the acting chops to play Gia in their sleep.
What does all that mean? She could be had, cheap, as it would offer her an opportunity to snag a repeating role (read as consistent work) in a series where she plays a part that doesn't bank on her previous, forgettable screen efforts.
I have softened my stance on Emile Procter...her IMDB photos are horrible...she
is a striking blonde, but my Gia looks like she's younger than Jack (by about 3-5 years)...and my jack is about 35 (give or take 3 years), so at 40 years old this year, Ms. procter may as well be in cougar country. If forced to choose between her and Mena, I'd choose Mena.
