My Take
Hayley McFarland was one of the quiet reasons Lie to Me worked as more than a procedural. As Emily she gave Tim Roth's prickly genius someone to soften against, and she played the smart-teenager-who-reads-people angle without ever tipping into precociousness. Her small but memorable part in The Conjuring put her in one of the defining modern horror films, too. I always thought she had the range to do more, so it is a little wistful that she seems to have prioritized a normal life over chasing fame. Sometimes the actors who knew when to walk away are the ones who keep your respect.
