Who? After googling.. it’s a she!
She was on “E-Ring”. Loved that show! She’s not as good an actor as Itzin but she plays tough boss ok. She was able to boss around Dennis Hopper and Benjamin Bratt on her last show and look convincing.
Saw her in a few shows, her acting for me was just OK, would have liked the role to have gone to someone else.
Is it just me or does anyone else think that Gregory Itzin’s character Virgil Minelli is Red John? His hiatus – I think to work on 24, which is awesome – sort of made me rethink this. But the story could go that his motive for retiring is not the death of his underlings, but rather a kind of retreat after nearly getting caught in the Nov. 19 episode “His Red Right Hand.”
After the superb blowup against the press he had, I would be upset if he turned out to be Red John.
If you can remember back from 9 years ago, she was also Sistah Girl in “Undercover Brother.” (very funny, very underrated) Don’t know much about the role she’d play here, but it sounds like she’d do a good job with it.
She’s a very underrated actress. She was great in “Men Of Honor” and “Ray”.
I love Ms. Ellis. I think she is a great choice. Not to mention beautiful!
Yeah she has done a lot of stuff but is still very unknown. Who knows maybe this could be her breakout role.
i hope she’s a potential love interest for Simon Baker. that would work nicely (anyone here seen Baker in “Something New”).
Useful info. Fortunate me I found your web site unintentionally, and I am shocked why this twist of fate didn’t came about in advance! I bookmarked it.
Remarkable issues here. I am very happy to peer your article. Thank you a lot and I’m having a look forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?
