A police force, wherever they are, is made up of amazing people, and I respect them a great deal.
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.
And it wasn't until I came out here to California when my brother got a role on the show Alice, that I also began to go on auditions for acting roles.
At the moment I really love listening to the Dave Matthews Band.
I love San Francisco. Last season we shot for about a week and a half up in the Bay area. But the majority of our show is shot here in LA.
I started working at the age of 2, doing commercials and modeling in New York.
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.
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.
My strongest advice would be to really think about whether this is something you absolutely cannot live without in your life. And based on that I would probably say the best thing to do is go to college and perhaps major in drama, theater. And give it your best shot from there.
Normally I don't watch myself, because I'm not very objective.
One person I've always wanted to work with who would be an amazing guest star would be James Earl Jones.
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.
We're not allowed to drink on camera. The shots that I do - supposed to be tequila - are mostly water with a dash of diet Coke.
