Paget Brewster
I didn’t realize Paget Brewster was on Friends. She played Joey’s girlfriend, Kathy. Kathy and Chandler kiss, Joey finds out, Chandler ends up in a box. Here’s a clip from YouTube that shows Chandler running through the streets of NYC just to say hi to her - and no one caught on that he liked her?
Paget has also done a million other television shows, Law&Order: SVU and Andy Richter Controls the World among the more well-known.
Paget’s character, Emily Prentiss, replaced Lola Glaudini’s Elle Greenaway. She talks about the reaction her character received when first on the show:
The show didn’t need another person. It just didn’t. It was an ensemble. They didn’t need to bring on another person. What they [viewers] were saying was fair, which is ‘Who is this strange person? I want to know more about Garcia. And that’s absolutely valid. Watching the show, if I hadn’t gotten the part, I would have felt the same thing.
I had to get rid of my Google alerts because so many people hated Prentiss… You do take it personally. You want people to be happy. You make a living entertaining people. You don’t want them to hate you. That’s the worse thing that could happen.
She says the BAU team has a “grudging” acceptance of her character, Prentiss. I like her on Criminal Minds because she kind of seems like the outsider for awhile and then just works her way in. Maybe the same will be true of Mandy Patinkin’s replacement, Joe Mantegna.
What’s Paget doing during the summer break from filming CM? Taking pictures of naked chics? According to MediaVillage’s Jacki Garfinkel, she will be traveling to England and Amsterdam taking photographs for the site SuicideGirls.com. “My agent keeps sending me film scripts,” Paget said. “Why would I want to work during my two months off? I want to shoot naked girls with tattoos!”
Really?
