I'd never played a cop before, and this particular role with what she is going thru, especially during the first season, covering her alcoholism to her on the job performance, was a great opportunity for me as an actress.
Actually I've never had formal training, I was lucky enough to continue working most of my career and aside from sitting in on a couple of classes, here and there, I basically just use my own instincts.
At the moment I really love listening to the Dave Matthews Band.
I started working at the age of 2, doing commercials and modeling in New York.
Personally I had the opportunity to go on several ride alongs with the LA County Sheriff's Department with some amazing detectives, who were invaluable to me.
One person I've always wanted to work with who would be an amazing guest star would be James Earl Jones.
Normally I don't watch myself, because I'm not very objective.
A police force, wherever they are, is made up of amazing people, and I respect them a great deal.
I've heard from a couple of female officers, that they understand exactly what my character is going through, and that they really like the show.
