[@meddlon9193]

AM loki yep

[@maynordj]

AM loki is she diverse enough to deserve a much bigger acting career? Exorcism of Emily Rose we thought showed us that. Now she just goes where the work is and that is a type cast badass cop who doesn't take s*** off of people...... I think that's the extent of her career

[@9faris3]

here is what I like about opinion: it is just your opinion. Of course, everyone's opinion is based on something but mine was based on the 2015 tv series Limitless. She acted great in that, hence, I personally think she should work more harder to be a much renowned actress. If she is doing that, good for her. If she is not, it's up to her too. It's her choice but I would love to see any movies or tv series that she had a role in it, when I have my free time of course.

[@pankajkanwar3376]

[@mitch6160]

Beautiful?

[@chrisswan4617]

(Spoilers in this post) Being completely honest, in Dexter, Carpenter put on the greatest performance I have ever seen from any actor or actress in my life. No book, movie, or TV show has ever made me feel closer to a fictional character than I did to Debra Morgan. If there was one person I knew I was always rooting for during that show it was Deb, and I just can't believe how well Carpenter made her come alive. When an actress' performance can actually make you care about a character that isn't real to the point that you tear up during their death, that's how you know they've done a great job. Thank you, Jennifer.

[@babybirdhome]

She really was phenomenal. I don't remember which episode it was in but there was one with a think a drug dealer or relative of a drug dealer where something happened and she freaked out and just started bawling that was just so ridiculously authentic. Almost nobody I've ever seen in anything has done something like that so well.

[@bluefilmsltd]

Greatest performance you have ever seen? You can't be serious...

[@inachu]

She is based on my sister. That was why she was chosen.

[@lucyk310]

i was a complete mess when she died… broke my heart!! she was amazing in the show, much love to her! :)

[@Mariose123]

Agree she was awesome and best character by far Dexter wasnt even close,they fucked up the ending so hard if there was one character who should have had happy ending it was her.Showtime interfered with ending,they butchered Dexter series and considering what they did to some other good shows i am never watching their shit again.

[@TrippyRick]

"I don't take my work one with me", and she married Michael C. Hall xD

[@KabooM1067]

Exactly what I thought XDDDDD But weren't they married before they started working together?

[@Lunabyes]

[@00Mindi00]

She’s an absolutely PHENOMENAL actress. She was just mind blowing in Dexter and I hope they bring her character into season 9 somehow.

[@AlvinPagan-me8tm]

She made me feel bad about her life in Dexter. And I was all emotional about her death. Dexter made me connect with the show. Not many shows are on that level.

[@10outofTenley]

Met her and Seth one day randomly in my small town... She was really sweet and genuine and even knew my name. She's got a spark to her.

[@Solaris_iv]

Have you heard every one? Even past your existence? Or are you just a dumbass?

[@TinyMK1]

Love her so much. She REALLY needs an Emmy already. They better freaking give her one (that AND a Golden Globe!) for the last season of Dexter. I thought she deserved one in season 4 for the phenomenal acting job she did especially regarding the death of Lundy... yet she didn't even get nominated! What is wrong with these people?!

[@genevestal9740]

I could not agree with this comment any more. I can't think of a more intensive scene in all my years of television watching than the shooting of LaGuerta. There's certainly a huge wrongdoing for her not to have at least two Emmys on her mantle

[@dusanarsovski7059]

The scene where she talks about Lundy's death with Dexter, when she says "I'm broken" is among the best acting I saw on TV. Incredible realism and pure emotion.

[@nfinn42]

Man, she has such an infectious, delightful laugh. It's hard not to want to laugh when she does. ^_^

[@dishav5910]

Until now. I was ok with him going in exile to punish himself, just not ok with noone ever knowing who he was. New blood's ending... want to pretend didnt happen

[@ashutoshmisra1509]

She is the most talented actress I have ever seen, by far. When I saw Dexter, her acting reminded me of Andre Braugher's Frank Pembleton in "Homicide". Just search Pembleton in the box. Hope you will see what I mean. The way they handle the character's emotions makes every scene come alive. Please come back for the return of Dexter. Really miss you, Jenn 😍😍😍

She's such a great actress... I love her.

[@darkin1484]

J. Carpenter is basically Debra Morgan in real life as well. Same character same everything. She's just natural for that type of role. Fun fact : Her and Michael C. Hall (Dexter) were married 2 years before the season finale and it lasted about 2 years total. so 2008 to 2010?

[@drumdude46]

was so bummed how the series ended. just finished it last night..... turned onto the DVD set by a good friend. watched the whole thing in about 2 weeks.... around a 'disk' a night ( 4 or 5 episodes) but was so depressed and unhappy how things ended. especially with "Deb". then, Dex ends up....well...the way he did. talk about a fucking bummer..... still, what a great show. btw....call me a bit weird, but....i actually WANTED to see them get together. once they introduced that theme ( and the writer's 'knew' they were toying with the audience...) .... it kept everyone 'hanging on' for like 3 more seasons, believing that these two were meant for each other, and despite merely being 'non-biological-siblings....would profess their love for each other in that way. i was hoping....but...... :(

[@benmills1837]

She is the most unique woman in so many ways. She has the most unique magnetism....she is far removed from the rest of the pack in Hollywood. Her acting is beyond anything anyone is putting out there.......her performance in The Exorcism of Emily Rose was astonishing and it's the single most unsettling movie I've ever seen. She never appears to be deliberate with any of her techniques in front of the camera......so i doubt if shes a method actor. She's kinda like the person who gets overlooked with safe, easy movies but gets called up to do the ones that are hard, difficult and complex. She is just simply and utterly outstanding.
