!Tropes
* ContraltoOfDanger: Her deep, husky voice has served her well as {{Action Girl}}s, both light and [[DarkActionGirl dark]].
* FarmersDaughter: Literally. She grew up on an Albertan grain farm.
* MsFanservice: Helfer is a model as well as an actress, and is absolutely gorgeous. As a result she's been cast as MsFanservice in just about everything from ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'' to ''Series/{{Chuck}}''. It might be easier to say what she ''isn't'' MsFanservice in. She's also this in real life largely by virtue of existing.
* NoStuntDouble: Has been known to do her own stunts; this resulted in two artificial discs in her lower back from stunt mishaps (she also has four artificial disks in her back and two in her neck, after a piece of luggage fell onto her while in an airplane).
* StatuesqueStunner: She's 5'10 and tends to tower over her co-stars.

* [[HeReallyCanAct She Really Can Act]]: Some people were sceptical about ''BattlestarGalactica2003'' due to the casting of a beautiful supermodel without many memorable acting credits, but she blew everyone away with a complex, nuanced performance that is frequently hailed as one of the best in the series. And that's a show with Creator/EdwardJamesOlmos.
