Jewel Staite's Talent

Friday, January 27, 2012 2:23 AM

I'm enthusiastically blogging about Jewel because, well, why not? If you were to look up "undervalued actress" in an encyclopedia, you might just find a picture of Jewel. Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the role of Jane Foster in "Thor" would have been so much better if it had been played by Jewel? That's just ONE example. She's been acting since she was knee high to a grasshopper and every bit of that experience shows.

I would love to see her branch into more feature films. What I would really love to see is her paired up with o...say...Matt Damon, or Jude Law in a film with a great screenplay and a top notch director. Not only do I think either one of these actors would have great chemistry with her on the big screen, but just as a few examples, these are actors with raw talent who would take the ball all the way down the court and slam dunk it right along with her EVERY time for a director.

Joss Whedon enthusiastically raved about her and with good reason when you watch her performances. Nathan Fillion was always extremely impressed with her when you listen to his Firefly commentaries. ALL of Jewel's performances are instant classics. She has that extremely rare, mysterious talent of making an audience want to watch her scenes again and again just like that of Judi Dench or Morgan Freeman.

To every director from Michael Mann to Frank Darabont, if you want two thumbs up, Jewel has been right there under your noses and she's just that...a Jewel. Give her a great LEAD role that earns her a little gold statue named Oscar...better yet...give her two.

MORE Jewel Staite please!

By the way, can anyone tell me where I can reliably track what conventions she'll be appearing at? I don't do twitter and it would be cool to meet her some day.
