Jessalyn Gilsig
first came to the attention of David E. Kelley as a guest star on his
series "The Practice." Kelley then approached her to appear on his series
"Snoops," but the show was cancelled before her two episodes could air.
Kelley then wrote the character Lauren Davis on BOSTON PUBLIC specifically
for Gilsig.
Gilsig has been acting since the age of 12 and graduated from the American
Repertory Theater at Harvard in 1995. While there, she performed in
such productions as "The Cherry Orchard," "The Oresteia," "Tartuffe"
and "The Tempest." She then moved to New York and appeared in such Off-Broadway
plays as "Mere Mortals" and "Gun Shy." Her regional theater credits
include "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "A Shayna Maidel," "The Love of
the Nightengale," "The Last Night of Ballyhoo" and "Scent of Roses."
