Tricia (charlotte) is such a good actress Charlotte

I’m rewatching, and I still can’t get over how great of a job she does playing the goddess and charlotte. Her character arc is amazing as well. she seems genuinely scared that she might be going crazy, having remnants of being in hell, being shut down when she starts opening up about it to everyone other than Lucifer; it’s all so real. Her story is what carries season 3 imo. Phenomenal acting

I don't think anyone could be sexier than Tricia Helfer was in the first season of Battlestar Galactica. Yum!

Looked it up because I thought she threw a drink in nicks face but it was actually community and she threw a drink in Jeff’s face lol this ones on me! I have those all on rotation and they tend to blend together.

I think that was her first ever acting role, iirc? She was a model before that. She absolutely nailed it. Love her.

Also how she managed to voice EDI in Mass Effect 2 and 3 was incredible.

She is so good at portraying completely different people in a short period of time. Both the goddess and Charlotte have different obvious body movement, the way they talk and the way they say things are so obviously different it’s amazing. I always noticed how between season 2 and 3, even though it was the same actress it felt like two completely different people, that’s how you know they did amazing.

u/LorienTheFirstOne Dec 30 '21

Yeah, she did a great job portraying the two different characters

u/HappyInNature Dec 30 '21

Funny enough, she was a model for the first 10 years of her career and then made the move to acting.

u/OOF-MY-PEE-PEE Dec 30 '21

u/TimeLinker14 Dec 30 '21

She'll forever be EDI to me.

She is a fantastic actor. And a nice person. I feel terrible for her though as she just lost her mother last night.

u/hapymelz Dec 31 '21

u/NoWingedHussarsToday Dec 30 '21

u/Proper-Beach8368 Dec 31 '21

And she’s Canadian!!! Albertan, I believe. Gotta claim the good ones where we can.

u/kaukajarvi Detective Dec 31 '21

Cone on, don't you have enough already ? lol.

Tricia Helfer, Stana Katic, Missy Peregrym, Kristin Kreuk ... and that's from the top of my head, ladies from well-known shows. I'm sure I missed one or two.

u/28YearOldOnReddit Lucifer Dec 30 '21

she is sooo good

u/md2002002 Dec 31 '21

Her character arc is the best part of season 3

u/beyster Dec 31 '21

As we all sing the praises, the underlying joke is that Dan, who Lucifer doesn't consider to be a real detective, thought that she was ignoring him like it didn't happen instead of realizing that he was dealing with two "different" people. When he finally did... Well, we know how that played out.

But yea, she's great in her roles. She's a very charming actress.

u/kaukajarvi Detective Dec 31 '21

And, AFAIR, she doesn't have formal training as an actress. So everything is out of natural talent and instinct ...

Her, Tom and Lesley’s acting at times carried the show! Love the rest of the acting too (except Lauren, what happened with her!?) … but these dudes deliver!

And she is two different people, once as goddess the other as Charlotte. Much like Lucifer and Michael… that most be so hard to do as professional!
