Alexandra Breckenridge is best known for her role as Mel Monroe in Virgin River,

but her resume is much longer than that.

The actress is unrecognizable in the role of Monique Valentine

in She’s the Man.Breckenridge is a versatile actress and her past roles prove it.
It is always amusing and slightly eerie to see an actor playing your favorite character in a completely different role.

For Virgin River fans, Alexandra Breckenridge is first and foremost Mel Monroe, the smart and caring nurse with a tragic past who comes to the idyllic Northern California town to start her life over. But in fact, the actress has many credits to her name, some of which fans never even recognized as hers.

Remember Sebastian’s superficial girlfriend from She’s the Man?

Yes, that was Breckenridge. You probably remember the 2006 teen flick based on William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, and even quote it from time to time. But if you don’t, let us remind you.

She’s the Man follows high school student Viola Hastings (Amanda Bynes), a soccer fanatic who dreams of playing for the boys’ team. She gets her chance when her twin brother Sebastian (James Kirk) enrolls in a new boarding school that he has no intention of actually attending.

This is a huge departure from Virgin River’s wholesome character. Furthermore, she was blonde and completely unrecognizable on screen.
