My Take
Sienna Guillory earned permanent goodwill from me by treating Jill Valentine, a video game heroine, with the seriousness most actors reserve for prestige drama. She studied the source material, did the physical work, and gave Resident Evil fans a rare faithful adaptation of a beloved character. But reducing her to one franchise sells her short: Helen of Troy, the elf princess in Eragon, and sharp turns in Luther and Fortitude show genuine range. A former model who became a character actress and then a producer suggests someone restless about craft. I find that quiet versatility far more interesting than fame, and her career rewards anyone paying attention.
