Thora Birch
Former child actress, born March 11, 1982, best known for such movies as American Beauty, Ghost World, and Dungeons and Dragons, and in her early career for movies such as Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, All I Want for Christmas, Monkey Trouble, Now & Then, and Hocus Pocus.
Thora Birch provides examples of the following tropes:
- Deadpan Snarker
- Dull Surprise: As the Empress in the first Dungeons and Dragons movie.
- Former Child Star
- Hollywood Homely: Plays a lot of characters like this. Hilariously, her character in American Beauty has A-Cup Angst and wants to get breast implants. Take a look at her nude scene, and her in Ghost World. Especially when you compare her to the flat-chested Mena Suvari.
- Meganekko: In Ghost World
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin
- Stage Mom: Actually a stage dad. Her father, Jack Birch, is known for meddling on film sets and at rehearsals. At least twice, he's cost her acting jobs. Thora's response? "My dad is my support, and he is the best support that I ever could have."
- Star-Derailing Role: The first Dungeons and Dragons movie, again.
- Took the Bad Film Seriously: The first Dungeons and Dragons movie, once more. (Unlike Jeremy Irons, who just had fun going over the top with his role.)
