I like all the adventure sports but I like to do them in a safe way.
It’s changing a bit, but the thing in LA is everyone is either in the industry, or knows someone who is in the industry. So, they don’t let on that they recognize you, that’s what I’ve found out.
Sometimes you work all the way through to 5am, then get a few hours and you’re back on set again.
But, people are recognizing me more. Sometimes fans just approach me on the street and say how much they love the show. It’s great to get that kind of feedback.
People are always surprised that I have a funny side because I’m usually so intense, strong and dramatic. But, I’d love to do something really, really silly and funny.
I started when I was in college because I was shy and thought it would be a good way to break out of that.
We’re just into toys, whether it’s motorcycles or race cars or computers. I’ve got the Palm Pilot right here with me, I’ve got the world’s smallest phone. Maybe it’s just because I’m still a big little kid and I just love toys, you know?
I’ve always been like that. I was a tomboy when I was a kid, so I was always playing baseball and basketball and football and stuff as a kid with the boys.
I’ve been playing a lot of really strong, able woman, but I think it would be really fun to play a crazy drug addict, or something.
The main prank that we play with props is for people’s birthdays. The special effects people will put a little explosive in the cake so it blows up in their face – that’s always fun to play on a guest star, or one of the trainees or someone who’s new.
When I do get time, I like to hike and I take lots of vitamins and powders to keep healthy.
I’m a firm believer in doing things that scare you.
I’m still one of the guys and I always will be.
JAG is an acronym for the Judge Advocate General, which is the judicial system of the military.
I love to go bungee jumping, jump out of planes, ride motorbikes, do kickboxing. I love all that stuff.
I’ve always wanted to produce. I’ve had my production company name for years, even though I didn’t really do anything with it right away.
I started acting when I was about 18. I was a model for a couple of years before that.
The best part? Probably being able to portray such a respectable, ethical, intelligent, strong woman. That’s still pretty rare in our business, unfortunately.
When all the girls were getting all made up and getting into all that girl stuff in junior high I was out playing softball or touch football with the guys.
Probably right at the end of JAG, I would love to have a child or two. I ultimately want to have two kids.
