Celebrity Crush: Moon Bloodgood

Today's spotlight is on an actress whose name sounds vaguely Native American, which is one ethnicity NOT mentioned in her bio: Her father was of Dutch and Irish descent, her mother South Korean, according to Wikipedia.

Name: Moon Bloodgood
Hometown: Anaheim, Calif., according to her Wikipedia profile
Best Known For: Her highest-profile appearances so far have been in Terminator: Salvation and a recurring role in the third season of Burn Notice. Other work includes the short-lived science fiction dramas Daybreak (alongside Taye Diggs on ABC) and Journeyman (alongside Kevin McKidd on NBC), plus a one-off in the first season of Fox's Human Target.

She will start in the Stephen Spielberg-produced science fiction series Fallen Skies on TNT in 2011 alongside former ER doc Noah Wylie.
Humble Beginnings: The former Laker Girl and model did a few TV appearances on shows such as Just Shoot Me, Fastlane, CSI, North Shore and Monk and played "Gorgeous Woman" (good casting) in Win a Date With Tad Hamilton! before landing a regular role on Day Break.
Why Ye Olde Podcaster Likes Her: Her work in Journeyman in particular showed her to be more than just a pretty face and a rockin' body. The pathos she brought to her time traveler character was tangible -- just as McKidd was starting to lead two lives, you found out over time that his believed-dead ex-girlfriend had been through all the same times of experiences before she even met him.
