Related Tropes
- Artistic License – Gun Safety: Averted. She was trained in the use of firearms by her father (she's from Kentucky), so any scene in Dexter where her character has a gun (which happens fairly frequently, being a cop), she knows what she's doing.
- The Cast Show Off: She saved the makers of The Exorcism of Emily Rose a lot of money on special effects when she pointed out that she could do all those weird poses herself.
