Lana Parrilla

Seriously, she is freakin' amazing in everything she does - Boomtown, Swingtown, Miami Medical and now Once Upon a Time where she totally owns the character of Regina Mills a.k.a Evil Queen. I hope she receives (at least) an Emmy nomination for her consistently strong portrayal. Cudos to Lana!

Ever since she was on Spin City I can remember wanting more. Actually following her from that to Boomtown was nice because of the cameleon like ability she displayed by being able to portray such different characters seemingly flawlessly. Awesome! One of my favorite foils in television today, I think that as long as there's television she's got the talent to be around. For those who may not know who she is if you have ever had a female friend that accepted you for whoever you were and maybe even loaned a couple of bucks every now and again, well that warm feeling is what comes through the screen when you watch her perform.

I think one of the only reasons I really was interested in her character on 24 was because of the way she looks. I thought the writers of the show really let down her character - which can be said for a lot of people who came onto the show in the shows fourth season. I thought her acting was a little too much - reminding me of a girl in high school who tends to blow things way out of proportion. I thought her acting could have been better fine tuned for her character - which was basically to be suck up to Erin. She didnt really have the aura of that part coming off as the good girl.



Her role in LOST was tiny and she wont be heard of again, but it was fun to see someone and not rememeber where you knew them from. Says a lot about her ability to win over an audiance.
