Does anyone know if Jamie Murray, the actress who played Dexter’s “girlfriend” Lila during the second season of the show, is the model featured in the print ads for T-Mobile my Touch 4G smartphones?

It looks like her, but doesn’t [sound like her](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KmfXupi9cg), even accounting for accents.

I don’t think they look very similar. In any case [this](http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/alltherage/2010/11/who-made-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-girls-pink-and-white-dress.html) says her name is Carly Foulkes.

But we could use a commercial with a “pardon my tits” scene just to be sure.

I hadn’t seen the TV ads until I went to the link provided above. I had only seen her in a magazine ad. I agree that in the TV ad she does not really look much like Lila.

Certainly not her, although I do see the similarity. Jaime Murray is in her 30s, and the commercial girl looks to be in her 20s

I’ve only seen the TV ads and was somewhat confused. When I saw the thread title, I figured you were talking about Catherine Zeta-Jones. I could see someone getting those two mixed up.

There is an ad on the next to last page of the current edition of Entertainment magazine. It is definitely not Zeta-Jones, but I thought it could have been Lila.

Here’s an easy test: is the T-Mobil chick evil in the commercials? If not, it’s not Jamie Murray. 😉

Nevermind. I took the Internet at its word. Shows what I know.

Jamie Murray ain’t evil in _Hustle_. She just… likes conning bad guys.

She is ace as H.G. Wells in Warehouse 13.

I won’t tell you if she is evil in that.
