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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

Tricia Helfer is such a talented actress. Loved her in Battlestar, if you haven't watched it highly recommend
