I know her from “Terminator: Salvation.” I thought she was pretty good in that; I think she’s an up-and-comer.

She does, however, have altogether too many o’s in her name. 🙂

Heard the name…though I had to Google to figure out what she was in.

She has an AWESOME name, though…

Never heard of her. Never seen anything she’s in, either.

Know her from the first season of Human Target where she made a 1-episode appearance.

Oh, yes, the woman with three pronunciations of “oo” in her name. She was on _Day Break_ with Taye Diggs & _Journeyman_ with Kevin McKidd. Since I watched both of those tv shows avidly, I know who she is.

Oh, she also has a small role in the DeNiro movie _What Just Happened_.

I have mentioned her twice before on this board, once even saying,

I remember her from “Terminator: Salvation” solely because of her name.

I didn’t know the name, but I watched every episode of Daybreak, and I really liked it. I was sorry it wasn’t more popular.

And I thought she was gorgeous.

Know her appearances from the above shows well. She seems to stick to genre stuff, so I suspect she’ll break out in something big soon enough. Can’t say I’m thrilled by her presence, in any way, but she is a solid performer in everything she’s done.

Not sure why she was even in _Burn Notice_, because her story arc went absolutely nowhere.

She’d fit in well in a _Conan the Barbarian_ type movie.

Speaking of which, I know her from _Pathfinder_, a forgettable Vikings-in-America movie starring Karl Urban. The name stuck out at me when watching the credits. I knew she’d been in some more recent big-name film, but I didn’t recall at the time. Based on reading this thread it was probably Terminator: Salvation.

I recognized the name as the chick from the short arc in _Burn Notice_. Hard name not to remember. But I do have trouble remembering which syllable goes where.

Moon Goodblood? Blood Moongood? Good Bloodmoon?

Sounds like someone I should know from Pagan Spirit Gathering.

Like most of you, I found her name to be AWESOME, but then I noticed the juxtaposition of “moon” and “blood”, which made me think of menstruation, which made the name seem less cool all of a sudden ☹

Without googling the name is vaguely familiar but I couldn’t tell you if she was in silent films, 70 blaxploitation, 1980s soap operas, modern day porn, or any combination of the above.

Moon Bloodgood? of course I know her! She was my Level 26 Paladin with +7 Armor and a +3 Sword of Slicing who found a Deck of Many Things during an Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.

What’s interesting about her name is if you take out all letters that’s not “O” and pronounce it out loud. Try it, it’s fun!

Yes, and I haven’t read any other posts. She was a pilot, I think, in the last Terminator movie, and I saw her is some flick kinda like 10000 BC, where an evil tribe invades from somewhere and does evil stuff to the Good local tribe.

Yes, this was it. The Vikings were the EEVILL ones. It was something of a cross between _10000 BC_ and _300_, _300_ mostly because of the look of the film.

But she was wearing so many damn furs it was impossible to see what she really looked like.

Replying without reading other replies so sorry if I’m repeating information.

She was the chick who was the Terminator’s companion and defender in “Terminator: Salvation”. She’s pretty. I guess she’s a D-lister in an A-list movie? I can’t tell you anything else she’s done.
