Zooey Deschanel is one of the most talented actors I've seen come out of Hollywood. She has had such great performances such as the character Noel in All The Real Girls. That was such a real performance and one that made it seem like she wasn't an actor being paid to do it. Also in the movie The Go-Getter, one word: incredible.
Her more "mainstream" (read: non-indie) movie choices have also been unusual including a store elf, a space-travelling human, a bird-hating semi-alcoholic roomate, a lifesaver penguin, cabaret singer and a happy music teacher. Think what you will of her, but her acting performances speak for themselves. There are those who appreciate a fresh, young and skilled actor. Not to mention a highly talented singer/songwriter.
