Most people know her from the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer which I never ever saw and never will because it's creepy. Michelle Trachtenburg isn't the worst actor but she isn't the worst either. I think that she plays the same type of charachter way to much and is over rated on her looks. She always plays the girl who rather weird or is into a type of sport and people don't believe in her and then she over comes it with a help of some handsome guy. I like her but I don't think her career is going to last that long.

I know a lot of people hate on her character on Buffy, but I really liked Dawn and I think that she played the spoiled childish role of Dawn as well as possible. She also gave depth to the character during a lot of the episodes during the fifth...

I know a lot of people hate on her character on Buffy, but I really liked Dawn and I think that she played the spoiled childish role of Dawn as well as possible. She also gave depth to the character during a lot of the episodes during the fifth season. Because of her young looks I feel like she is often put in roles like the one in Ice Princess that don't push her as far as she is capable of going. With that in mind we all remember her from Harriet the Spy which was a classic from the youth. To see her moving on now to more mature roles like in The Dive from Clausen's Pier and her new character on Gossip Girl is great.
She is also very pretty and I love her look. I hope to see her in a lot of things in the future.

Here's how I'll preface this: I'm going to skewer this loser based on the retinal cancer I have developed from her stint on 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'. I love that darn show. It's like an old love I sit down to catch up with every couple of years and re-discover what made me fall head over heels in the first place. The storytelling is engaging and brilliant and the cast is superb.

When peeps ask me how I rate the Buffy Universe, I always say Season Two is the best followed by Season Five. Don't get me wrong, Season One, Three and Four are all fantastic journeys, but Two and Five just have so much at stake that the arc becomes irresistible. Now, at the conclusion of the Season opener for Five, we catch a glimpse of a little brown-haired tween in Buffy's bedroom who surprisingly turns out to be her sister, Dawn... a sister we never knew existed. I found this turn of events to be brilliant on the part of Whedon and company. What a wonderfully clever way to inject some new life into the series (though I never felt the life was faltering--but ratings showed otherwise). I never felt cheated, I never felt frustrated that it took a number of episodes to actually address why Dawn even existed on the show. ***Sidenote*** Dawn turns out to be a mystical energy that could destroy the fabrics of reality... and to hide the energy, some crusty monks made it into Michelle Trachtenberg. Here's where I have a problem. I love the idea, but I *Hate* the actress. I will never understand some folks' obsession with Michelle. After reading a few entries and checking out some Google searches I've found that a lot of dudes just want to do her (which I also don't get), and every woman who talks her up is under the age of 15. There is no excuse for her inability to act. Nothing will convince me that she's worthy of being a Hollywood actress. The only other onscreen stuff I've seen her in was a coathanger abortion called 'Black Christmas'. I hated her in that too, but was elated when she met a gruesome death. BTW: See the original film. It doesn't have Trachtenberg, and won't make you want to blow up your DVD player.

But back to the Dawn-ster. Look, supporters of this character will say MT embodies the awkward, innocent, annoyingness of a teen. I get angst. I was a teenager, I grew up with two little brothers who became teenagers before my very eyes, but never did I want to sell their internal organs on the black market for gas money. Yes, Michelle poorly acts her way through semi-capturing a brat in their early teens... but what she also does in the process is act-out a character that you grow to absolutely loathe every time she's onscreen. It is possible to draw-out a chracter that has a lot of angst, pain, and confusion, but also keep them interesting and likeable. See: River Tam in 'Firefly' (and countless other films and shows).

It all comes down to M.T. not being able to pull off any scene she's in *ever*. She's horrible. She's predictable. Her cry-baby demeanor is repulsive enough to make you crawl out of your skin and flush yourself down a toilet for sanctuary. I will say that she did coin one of the most unintentionally hilarious catchphrases in television history: "Get out! Get Out! Get Out!" Believe me when I say these words come out of her mouth at least four times in three seasons of television. Horrifying and excruciatingly hilarious at the same time.

Recently I convinced my girlfriend to sit down and absorb seven seasons of 'Buffy' and five of 'Angel'. Granted, she loved it and is a Whedon-lifer now, but she almost lost it when Michelle Trachtenberg entered the fray. She really brings down the whole cast and show as a whole, and it's a shame. I find Season Seven to be 60% unwatchable already, but Trachtenberg almost managed to sink the entire ship all on her lack of acting chops. Stop denying it, folks. This actress is worthless.

I am Michelles biggest fan, I have never met anyone or seen anyone who is a bigger fan. She is so talented, I love her in Buffy, but move on she can do bigger and better things. Mitchy is growing up and you just got to face it that she was a little girl on buffy, but shes older (and may I say hot) and I respect her decisions, I havent seen one movie that shes been in that I didn't like, She is the best! Michelle don't ever change!

HAPPY 22 MICHELLE 10/10/07 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let start of you all know her as Dawn in Buffy the vampire.Her name is Michelle Tranchtenberg she is a great actress.She is on and off in different movie and shows.And if you guy never saw Buffy the vampire ill give you a hint she was in a disney movie back in the day.The movie was Harriet the Spy with Rosie.Now you can see her in many film like Black Chistmas and one of the greatest independent film called Mystery Skin.She also been in the movie Eurotrip.Yes the one in the the cover with a bikini!Even with so much that she has done not much people know who she is.So take my advice rent one of her movies one day and tell how "bad" she is as an actress.Don't say I did not warn you.

She's a famous teen star and she acted in many teen movies. One of htem are 'Ice Princess', 'Eurotrip', but she also acted in many movies for children such as 'Hariette The Spy'. But, she is probably best known for her role of Buffy's younger...

She's a famous teen star and she acted in many teen movies. One of htem are 'Ice Princess', 'Eurotrip', but she also acted in many movies for children such as 'Hariette The Spy'. But, she is probably best known for her role of Buffy's younger sister in the famous TV show 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'....She is very cute and talented, I hope I will see her in more movies...

I came upon seeing Michelle Trachtenberg on "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," and my mouth drop. what a beautiful teenager who would later grow into a beuatiful young actress. since "Buffy" went off the air, I haven't saw much of her. Last year, I caught her performance in "The Ice Princess," and not only she was talented, she was very beautiful. I have some pictures of her at home and she was just as beautiful. right now, I wish that she could come back to either television or the big screen. Because I'm min love with her and I want her to know that this fan want to see her again.

I hope that Michelle will go all the way and
Become very famous and that she will really be big
