Actresses Ready for the Spotlight

7.7  

She does the drama thing in Mad Men and the comedy thing in Community, knocking it out of the park with every at-bat.

Jason's rating:

6  

She's had supporting roles and guest spots on the best TV shows to grace the screen, including Arrested Development, Californication, and Archer.

Jason's rating:

6.9  

Granted, she's had leading roles, but she deserves the spotlight as someone other than the romantic interest for the male lead (Dark Knight, Crazy Heart, etc.).

Jason's rating:

7.7  

Delightful in every scene from office (Mad Men) to outer space (Firefly). She needs a starring turn!

Jason's rating:

6.7  

So funny and so disarming, so maybe she deserves a role that doesn't require removing her shirt.

Jason's rating:

7.1  

Usually a friend of the protagonist, she really needs a role that gives her center stage.

Jason's rating:

6.6  

Already a talented voice actress (Bob's Burgers, small roles in The Simpsons, American Dad), it's time for all of her to get some face time on celluloid.

Jason's rating:

5.7  

She turned down a role in Clerks II because she feared she might be typecast in "girlfriend" roles. That she never did get that starring turn in a film is an injustice to all who appreciate good potty humor.

Jason's rating:

6.3  

Her English lilt enchants as does her stunning performances on big (Rushmore) and small (Dollhouse) screens.

Jason's rating:

7.4  

Still an up-and-comer, she's set an enviable bar with her co-starring performance in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
