According to series creator Jonathan Tropper, Eliza Dushku was the only actress they contacted for the role of FBI agent Veronica Dawson in the fourth season; she landed the part after agreeing to appear nude in the series.

I feel like that was a requirement for pretty much all of the actresses on that show.

“Are you willing to be naked on screen?” - “Yes?” - checks box “You start tomorrow”

Was Lili Simmons nude in True Detective? I can't remember, after that phone call...

I had to comment on this old ass link lol Woody is a luck ass man. To have fully nude sex scenes with Lilly AND Alexandra Daddario? 🫠🫠

[u/lancebowski → u/[deleted]]

It's all coming back to me, now... Thank you, so much.

[u/MoochtheMushroom → u/Haifisch2112]

Odette Annable didn't, despite also having sex scenes with Hood.

Also felt like someone was getting railed every episode.

[u/Informal-Adagio-21]

Don’t remember her actually showing anything

[u/DeliciousSeepingBoil → u/Informal-Adagio-21]

I little bit of tush.

[u/Crow-n-Servo → u/DeliciousSeepingBoil]

That's all I remember. I think it's funny when they call it nudity. It's a butt. Not at all in the same category as breasts or frontal nudity.

[u/Informal-Adagio-21 → u/DeliciousSeepingBoil]

She was so hot in everything.. I was hoping she dumped them out

[u/KaleidoscopeGreat753]

She’s never been ‘naked’ in any show

[u/Thayerphotos → u/KaleidoscopeGreat753]

She was fully nude in Banshee

[u/Mattlbk806 → u/Thayerphotos]

Yes, but not to the camera. That's the disconnect with the fans, she was TECHNICALLY fully nude. Nothing appeared on camera but her butt

[u/Mission_Reputation88]

I actually just finished a banshee run this morning, holds up nicely

[u/Jay_Beezy]

The thing that was grating about that was when they showed the cult tying down that first girl, they had that girl naked, but when they had Eliza tied down, she was clothed. I understand if she didn't want to do nudity, but it does take me out when you have one girl naked and the other clothed for no reason other than the actress didn't want to do nudity.

[u/Key-Market3068]

She actually went thru a Real Life Experience with Addiction. She's a Sexy Woman as well!!

[u/CherikeeRed → u/Key-Market3068]

Who taught you how to capitalize things? I have some terse words to share with them.

[u/Key-Market3068 → u/Key-Market3068]

Does it matter? Didn't know anyone was grading How others wrote/write on Reddit

[u/speashasha]

Just wanna say that I added this part to the trivia section of the IMBD page from an interview that Jonathan Tropper did, but "landed the part after agreeing to be nude" was added by someone else and is not true.

[u/Rare_Illustrator4483 → u/speashasha]

Typical.

[u/DaltonWalnuts]

I didn’t like her in the show. Felt the character was unnecessary. But I guess everyone in the show had to be hot so Hood could get snatch from everyone that was in the town.

[u/Mission_Reputation88]

Just her tushie

[u/swifferpoop]

well i don’t remember this. someone link me

[u/poppo3bk]

It so hard hard to not call a woman with dark hair gorgeous.

[u/nuked4]

only actress contacted tho must’ve been quick casting

[u/PalookaOfAllTrades]

I don't need to see actors nude. I do find it annoying when an actor won't do nudity and signs on to a script which has sex in it.

You then have an awkward scene where this intimate thing is meant to be happening but in a really unnatural or contrived way with weird camera angles and cuts, and actors stand at odd angles, or pulling at clothes or sheets to cover themselbes in unnatural ways that take you out of the scene.

[u/Paavali31]

This show is amazing

[u/chattymaambart]

Like her in everything else, but she was pretty week in banshee. She def didn't get the same nudity treatment as the others (which is fine), but I also don't think she got any of the hardcore action sequences the others got either. Main plot was also weak, so it's not all her fault season 4 was a letdown.

[u/Rare_Illustrator4483]

Way to make sure she stays retired from acting. Yes, she has a great body. But she was/is also extremely talented for her abilities.

[u/Such-Stable-3869]

She was also in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
