Not pushing themselves enough?

I've been thinking on this a while, but this thread is spurred by Eva Green. Ever since Dreamers, I am happy to see her in upcoming flicks, but she never dominates a film, and I only wish she had more screen time. The closest I've come to being disappointed was with 300 part 2.

I was putting Keira Knightly in this category until Domino. Even tho I was no fan of Pirates, she still carried her part. Prior to Star Wars, I had not noticed her.

I had also enjoyed Lisa Jakub from her 12yo debut until she retired, although I have heard some others here do not agree.

I've enjoyed Jim Caviezel, although I cannot recall if I have been disappointed in any of his work.

Others might include Sioban Fallon, early LeeLee Sobieshi, Helen Hunt even tho I avoided that Paul Reiser TV show, early Rose Byrne, Jewel Staite, early Mia Kirshner, Summer Glau, and Leisel Mathews until I saw Blast From the Past.

Do you have favorites you can't wait to see their next work?

Anything with Patton Oswalt! This guy is hilarious and knows his 'zines /comics. Enough said.

I put Chloe Grace Moretz in this category. My first experience with her was in 500 Days of Summer - small part, but you could see her acting chops were real. Then came Kick Ass. She literally stole that movie without breaking a sweat, she held her own with a hilarious Nick Cage, and, for me, was the driving force of the movie. KA2 wasn't as well written (not that KA was a masterpiece) but she still was the engine that could.

I was disappointed with The Right One, but that was doomed to be a fail because the original was so good. Poor direction, in the remake, failed on that count. She is so good, but she hasn't made very good choices and needs a new manager/agent. She should maybe look into hiring Mila Kunis' people. Now there's a rising star who's career has been carefully crafted. Chloe should campaign to be in the next Star Wars movie, because of her gift for action and her more-than-solid acting skills.

Nicole Peltz from Transformers: Age of Extinction. They seem to have found in her what they were probably looking for when they settled for Megan Fox. I hope to see a lot more of her work as well.

I keep forgetting to mention Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Never see enough of her, even for the Scott Pilgrim gig. Seen trailers for Kill the Messenger, but didn't notice which scenes were hers.

Yes, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, my God, I forgot about her. I LOVED her in Scott Pilgrim; then I went back and rewatched Die Hard. This woman can act.
She was also in the schlocky Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer (small role as wife Mary). I agree about Grace Moretz, she's made some bad choices in her follow up movies. Both Carrie and The Right One were remakes that were doomed to fail. But I'm still in her corner because the girl can act, and I still say she would make an excellent Jedi.

You must have mis-typed, or else I'm blind, because I can't find any credit for her on Continuum.

After seeing her in Elementary, I am impressed. I think she is the most well-placed, fit, cast add-on to almost any show I can recall at this time, regarding Elementary.

Well, she apparently didn't get the spinoff that Kitty deserved.
But last night I was about to turn off the TV and saw the return of Kitty on Elementary - just visiting, looks like. But then it turns out the second part is next week.
But the Eps have 2 different names:
