....
Have a look at her in Terminator Salvation and Falling Skies for how she did in those.
I might should watch the Terminator movie again since it's been a while, but though she was involved in the action, i got the impression that she was kinda being tested as a player in a major motion picture ...where she may have gotten more screen time had she already had more previous work in similar rolls.
Her roll in Falling Skies (current)... though limiting her combative participation fighting the aliens since she plays a doctor, you can still get an idea how she does with a major (semi-major?) character in a show that is about fighting off alien invaders. The show has more of a totally changed world environment (not referring to "green") than a lot of "alien invaders!" shows. So the actors need to respond more as if they are in this science fictional world including some different jargon than non-sci-fi shows. Of course, the people making the show have a huge affect on how well this comes across too.
She's done a number of other shows, that i haven't seen.

While this is on my mind:
(Should this part be in a different forum?)
I'm worried about how Nimitz will end up looking. Including - if he will have "cat" eyes.
Please don't use horizontal pupils.. use "normal" vertical or common, round.
Treecats evolved for environment/survival-methods similar to Earth cats and implies they would require similar arrangement of eyes and their pupils for gathering light and detect motion in much the same way.
Defying real (known and familiar) physics crashes my suspension of disbelief.
