Threshold Quotes

(11/23/05) The first thing I want to say is that I think that "Threshold" (2005) is one of the best new shows out there, which is one of the reasons I wanted to join this amazing cast. Barbara Nance, the writer of this episode, created an incredible, strong female character who I knew I would have a lot of fun playing. There are fight scenes, there is glamor, and there`s this fun cat-and-mouse game between me and Brian Van Holt, who plays Cavennaugh. All the dynamics were in place. But what was fun was when Carla called me not knowing that they had offered it, and even though we only have a couple of scenes together, we were both so excited. Across the board, the cast is amazing. The only other guest spots I`ve done in the last couple of years were on shows that were already established, like "Without a Trace" (2002) and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (2000) and "NYPD Blue" (1993), so it was fun to be a part of something from the beginning.
