Jennifer Finnigan: (what she likes about her “Close To Home” character) There’s a lot of procedurals on air right now, and a lot of them are female-driven, but the women tend to be very - I don’t want to say masculine but just sort of hard-edged. What I love about Annabeth is that she is a real woman; she’s vulnerable and feminine and affected by things. One thing that gets me about a lot of these procedurals is that the characters sometimes seem unaffected by all the tragedy - and she’s not. She takes that to heart, and that’s who I am as well.
(about the daunting schedule of a drama series when planning a wedding) Jennifer Finnigan: Yes. It does, but when it all comes down to it, I think right now I'm meant to be doing drama. Jonny and I discussed it a lot. Thankfully, he's an actor, so he gets it. If anyone's going to be understanding about it, it's him. But just to be realistic, I said, "Honey, there are going to be times where I probably won't see you for three, four days in a row," and that's hard. It's a scary reality we're going to have to deal with, but he knows that I'm really committed to my work, and he would never want to interfere with that.
Reporter: What charities are most important to you? Jennifer: Definitely pediatric cancer, AIDS research, and there's a new charity I found out about that interests me for young kids and teens who are suicidal because they are gay and afraid to come out.
Reporter: Which Hollywood actor/actress are you most looking forward to working with? Jennifer: Without a doubt, Meryl Streep, first and foremost. God, I could learn so much from her, she's so brilliant.
