I’ll admit this threw me. I was not aware there had been a TV movie called _Red_. I thought you were talking about the action movie with Bruce Willis and I was wondering if you had Felicia Day and Mary Louise Parker confused.

My personal opinion is that the majority of performers you see in movies and television can’t really act. They’re able to read the lines without being too obviously bad but their main talent is being attractive and/or likeable.

I would say she’s definitely cute, but not renders-me-unable-to-speak hot. A good choice for the lead female’s best friend. I went to her website and I have to say, she made a lousy choice for the main photo. She actually reminds me of the cover of one of those Christopher Paolini dragon books in that one. The site links to a ton of other photos of her and practically all of them are so much better.

If you’re wondering if she’s a natural redhead I direct you to [this video.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbFjePdOpK8)

Reading lines without being too obviously bad still excludes 99% of everyone.

Being attractive and likeable also excludes 99% of everyone. Combine these two and you’re left with only one out of ten thousand people. But that one person might make it in show business.

I hated loathed and despised her in Buffy. Urgh, I get stabby thinking about it. She was acceptable on Dr. Horrible, I suppose - sort of a non-entity. I definitely don’t seek her out.

You’re… missing the point. You’re a _woman_. That’s not really her primary demographic.
