Actress born July 23, 1970, best known as Cordelia Chase from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, as well as Jason Statham's girlfriend, Lacy, in The Expendables. She is reprising her role as Lacy from The Expendables for the movie The Expendables 2, which was released in 2012. She also starred as Susan in the 2010 horror film Psychosis. After the release of Justice League, which was reshot by Buffy creator Joss Whedon, she backed Ray Fisher's accusations of Whedon's unprofessionalism by noting that he had fired her during Angel season 4 due to her pregnancy.

Charisma Carpenter provides examples of the following tropes:

Alliterative Name: Both she and her most well-known character have the initials C.C.
Awesome McCoolname: "Charisma" means "compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others", making it a pretty awesome name for her.
- Meaningful Name: The characters that she tends to play seem to have a lot of charisma.
Dawson Casting: Not so much anymore but she was playing mid-twenty-somethings into her mid-thirties. She was a full decade older than her character on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.
- She played 25-year-old Kendall on Veronica Mars at 34.
Embarrassing First Name: Named after a perfume; she's said in interviews that she hated her name growing up, and insisted on being called "Chrissy".
Hot Mom
Separated At Birth Casting: Her role as Sutton and Emma's birth mother on The Lying Game was supposed to be a secret but everyone figured it out due to Carpenter's uncanny resemblance to Alexandra Chando.
