My Take

Pamela Reed is one of those character actors who makes every scene she's in feel completely lived-in, and I think she deserves way more credit than she gets. Growing up in Tacoma and training at the University of Washington clearly gave her a no-nonsense grounded quality that she brought to everything — whether it was going toe-to-toe with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop and absolutely holding her own, anchoring the post-apocalyptic drama Jericho as the family's steady moral core, or playing Leslie Knope's perpetually exhausted mother on Parks and Recreation with that perfect blend of exasperation and love. She's the kind of actor who elevates whatever project she joins, and honestly the industry has quietly relied on people like her for decades without giving them nearly enough flowers.

Overview

Pamela Reed is an American actress. She is known for playing Arnold Schwarzenegger's police partner Phoebe O'Hara in the 1990 film Kindergarten Cop and portraying the matriarch Gail Green in Jericho.
