We first started getting excited about Ali Larter in the guise of one Allegra Coleman, a spoof character which left us baffled but helped propel the blonde to quite dizzying heights. In no time TV came knocking, and soon the former model went serious with bigger roles in Final Destination, Legally Blonde and – alarmingly – a New York stage production of The Vagina Monologues, that strange, just-for-women play about well, vaginas.

We, of course, know her best as Niki Sanders in the wondrous Heroes; she started the very first show posing in her undies for a sex-cam and then went a bit weird when her psychotic other self – Jessica – started appearing in the mirror. But the thought of two Ali Larters kept us glued to the end.

In her recent bunny boiling role in Obsessed, she successfully seduced us even though we were fully aware she’d turn mental at any moment. Says it all really.
