With 'Nip/Tuck,' I had never even done anything before I got on that show. They created that character for me. I was reading for something else.

With network, shows are pulled half the time after three episodes whether they're good or they're not good. It's a numbers game. With cable, they can take a lot more liberties.

I eat tons of green veggies to keep my PH balance in check.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

Jessica Jackley has a gift for making people want to fork over their cash. To total strangers. Far, far away.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
