LisaGay Hamilton

LisaGay Hamilton is an actress I admire for her range and her seriousness about the craft. Born in Los Angeles in 1964 and trained at Carnegie Mellon, she's worked across film, television, and the stage, and most people know her as Rebecca Washington on The Practice. What impresses me, though, is how she didn't stay in one lane. She moved into directing and producing too, and that Peabody Award in her column suggests work with real substance behind it. I respect performers who use a strong theatre foundation to keep stretching themselves rather than settling into a comfortable type.
