Carolyn Hennesy

What draws me to Carolyn Hennesy is the durability of her kind of career. She built it the slow way, through guest spots and TV movies, before Dawson's Creek finally put her in front of a wider audience. I have a soft spot for character actors who anchor a scene without needing to dominate it, and she clearly belongs to that breed. But what really earns my respect is that she is also a writer and an outspoken animal advocate. An actor who can carry a point of view off-screen, in her own words, tends to age into something far more interesting than mere fame, and I suspect she has.
