If you're on the west coast, you can still catch the show, which airs on NBC at 9 PT (and probably 8 MT). She looks great, had a semi-pivotal role, and did well. It was so good to see her again. I've often wondered what she was doing.

I knew I had seen her before but couldn't place her. Thanks for jogging my memory. Also, Billy Magnussen (spelling?) (Casey on ATWT) was on Law & Order last night. He did a good job. Good to see ATWT actors taking on other roles.

I don't watch the show but would have just to see her. This is the first work I have heard of her doing since leaving the show. I know she had even become a brunette at least in the last pictures I saw so I expect she may also have looked different. I didi see Billy on L&O and thought he was very good.

The main character has an interesting past. They can be viewed here..... http://www.surfthechannel.com/show/688.html It's one of the better "newer" shows in my opinion. I stumbled on to it accidently while I was home nursing a sore back. I didn't even remember it being on last year. hehe (hope it's ok to post that link here... plz remove it if not) Edited by Suz, Dec 16 2008, 06:16 PM.

I hope she continues to keep getting acting jobs! The show "Life" in general is not a regular cop show, IMO. I can't put my finger on it about precisely what makes it different or appealing, other than the acting. The cast is terrific and the humor, stories-of-the-week, and background arc all come together very nicely. The show is also listed on TelevisionWithoutPity's website as one of the 10 best shows that more people need to watch ("True Blood," "Chuck" and the now cancelled "Pushing Daisies" make the list, too). Here's the writeup from TWoP's website (www.televisionwithoutpity.com): Quote: There are a lot of police procedurals on TV nowadays, and it's hard to know which ones are worth watching and which ones aren't. Life belongs in the former category, if only for the hypnotic presence that is Damian Lewis. After watching him play Major Winters in Band of Brothers, we would follow him into anything, except possibly jail, which is why his performance as a police detective slowly returning to normalcy after 12 years of wrongful imprisonment is endlessly entertaining. Happy to be free, slowly getting used to new technology and excited about the abundance of fruit, Charlie Crews got a lot of money from the state, but he also got his old job back, bringing an inner calm -- and the mind of a convict -- to each case he investigates. Sarah Shahi is the vodka to his orange juice as his ex-addict partner, while Adam Arkin is his ex-con roommate/accountant and Donal Logue brings a New York state of mind to the Los Angeles squad room as his transplanted captain; all three make their scenes with Lewis zing. (Mad Men's Christina Hendricks is also a recurring character, if that does anything for you.) A running plot shows Crews trying to find out who had him framed -- he caught the real shooter last season and is slowly working his way up the ladder -- but the individual cases are the real meat, involving unusual people in very unusual situations, from police groupies to Lottery Winners Anonymous. ...Did we mention the show was funny? -- Zach Oat And yes, I'm shamelessly plugging this awesome show!!!

I loved this week's scene with Ted and his two "companions" at the table, in prison. Arkin was inspirational casting for this part. I'm still not happy he's in prison. He was framed, I tell ya' (and he was too!).
