Her acting and chemistry with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau was the best and most consistent part of the show

Disappointing that they didn’t do more with her Star Wars stormtrooper character.
She fucking killed it as Lucifer in Sandman. I hope they do something with Constantine Hellblazer and bring her back as Lucifer.
you're too unconventional looking
Whoever said that to her should be punched in the mouth. She's hot.
Studio execs like small, malleable women they can potentially pressure into couch castings.
Not the person you replied to, but I take exception with the word “too” in front of unconventional.
Obviously we know now that she was perfect in the role of Brienne. The main reason (for me, anyway) why film and tv largely suck now is because studios want the “safe” and “conventional” choice for every role. I’m also well over 6 feet tall, I want my tall queens well represented on the screen.
ETA: tall men don’t seem to have a problem getting roles. The stigma against tall women is just dumb to me.
That’s the issue i had with it. The “too” seems harsh. She’s legit hot just big.
She was very good on Wednesday I remember thinking.
Neil Newbon was unconventional, so he made it big in voice acting. Owen Wilson broke his nose, threw out convention, and didn't bother with plastic surgery. Steve Buscemi, Willem Dafoe, John Malkovich, and many others don't look "conventional".
I'm thinking that conventionality is overrated and unnecessary as a casting decision.
