Complex's new weekly feature "Who's That Girl?" spotlights an up-and-coming woman we've got our eye on.
The season four finale of the Showtime hit Dexter will air this Sunday and what better way to ease the anticipation than to take a look back at its sexy new reporter? In the series, Orange County native Courtney Ford plays (well, played--sorry, spoiler) the ambitious Christine Hill who shamelessly seduces Detective Quinn for story information, then gets caught up in the Trinity Killer imbroglio. It wouldn't be the first time Ms. Ford has showed some T&A to get her way; just check her out in Fling.
In real life, Ford is the Lois Lane to Superman's Brandon Routh after marrying the actor in 2007. More impressively, Mrs. Clark Kent was recently named in Variety magazine as one of "TV's Top 10 To Watch: New Faces For Fall" for her role in Dexter. She's not that much of a new face; babygirl was on Moesha in 2001. Yes, Moesha. But hey, better late than never. Her career's popping now, so let's get to know the girl we should've already been familiar with...
LIVING TRAPPED INSIDE IN OUTSIDE (2004): Apparently, she plays a woman imprisoned in a post-apocalyptic society who befriends an outsider through her window. Yeah, we're not sure we get it either.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEING A FANTASY IN DENIAL (2006): In this trailer, Ford gets sexy with Superman. The problem is, he might be imagining it. Story of our lives.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BREAKING HEARTS IN FLING (2008): The film, also known as Lie to Me, follows the fuck-ups of two couples in open relationships. Wait, you mean sharing your partner with other people isn't the utopian arrangement it's cracked up to be?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GETTING HIT ON IN CRIMINAL MINDS (2008) : In this scene, the show's resident nerdy cop hits on her and leaves his number in her hair...and it somehow works. Yet every time we try to deposit something in a woman's hair, somehow we're the bad guy. Whatever, copper.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHARMING HER WAY TO WORK IN DEXTER (2009): We can't help but question a man who rejects a semi-clothed willing woman like Ford. But this is PG-13 compared to her MA scenes you'll just have to tune into Dexter to see.

Courtney Ford is an awesome actress. She has done a lot of great work before Dexter. One that is out there floating around is a hilarious short with the IO West group Rigor Tortoise. It's called Bad Spellchek Theetar. It is really cool to see her funny side, and the guys with Rigor Tortoise managed to come up with a funny premise that makes you laugh while you think. Classic. I hope she will be one of the guests when they perform on the main stage at the IO in Hollywood. You can see her on Rigortortoisecomedy.com or follow the link... http://vimeo.com/1692140
