Whether it’s Girlfight (2011), The Fast and Furious series, Resident Evil, or Avatar (2009), you’ll always see Michelle Rodriguez playing the character of a badass woman who’s tough to crack. She can punch, she can kick, and she’s surrounded by guns and explosives. Michelle explains why she chooses these power-packed roles, “Throughout my 15-year career, I’ve always had this battle. I represent this specific demographic: Tomgirls. You don’t have a lot of them in Hollywood, and audiences respect that. I need to represent those little girls or women who think I’m cool.”
