Oh, fanboy geekiness overwhelms me. The same sort when watching "Pet Sementary" (some mispellings intentional, some not) with friends and they're surprised I actually know Denise Crosby from other things ("she was in other stuff? I thought she was a porn star ...")
Anyhoo, she's on tonight's THE AGENCY as a DC Homicide Cop who *GASP!* does something really evil (but not as evil as using a sentient android as a really expensive dildo) or something. I dunno. I was just flipping through channel in a desperate effort not to finish my Brit Lit reading.

I think you might be thinking of Andrea Thompson, who played an ice-queen detective called Jill Kirkendall. Of course, I could be wrong, but I hadn't heard of Denise Crosby getting a regular slot in any TV shows. . .

Denise Crosby was a guest on a couple of episodes of NYPD Blue, but not a regular.

Oh, I remember those episodes... she was going to replace the boss when everyone complained and traded her for their current boss.

The woman can act... those episodes were on a couple of weeks ago.
"Ice Queen" hardly did her justice.

Ah, either these eps haven't been shbown here yet or I missed them. *sigh* I miss Homicide. . . Channel 4 still haven't shown the last season here yet, I'd like to see them even if they suck due to their inherent Andre Braugher-less-ness. B(

Don't worry, he shows up in the series finale. Er, I mean the "movie" ... (speaking of which, we still mourn the show here in Baltimore ... I mean, can you believe they cancelled it over Pretender? Jesus).

Pretender?! I saw a bit of this show the other day, I wasn't impressed. Granted whatserface, Andrea Parker was it? Granted she brought a certain degree of fuckability which H:LOTS had lacked since Melissa Leo left and, er, that lieutenant who became a captain then got busted down to detective, before she buggered off to France.
Actually, that reminds me of something I was gonna post. . . *goes off to write it*

Wait, Denise Crosby was a porn star? I thought that being in porn kills any shot in Hollywood?

I think she was in Playboy once. I'm not sure, though. You'll have to ask Shik, he knows.

Penthouse, actually. In the late 70s, but reissued in 1987 due to TNG. Posing does not you a porn star make.
Incidentally, Michael..."I thought that being in porn kills any shot in Hollywood?" Tell that to Traci Lords or Ron Jeremy. Or even Vanessa Del Rio.

Crosby was also in a couple of the "Red Shoe Diaries" things, according to IMDb. Aren't those some sort of porn?

Interesting, this.
Denise Crosby ==>> Actress ==>> Playmate ==>> Pornography Q&A.
Never a dull thread here folks

Well, how successfully Traci Lords - sorry, Traci Elizabeth Lords *chortle* - has escaped her porn roots is open to debate. I mean, sure, she's done a few things, but really isn't getting offered anything better than, say, Pam Anderson is. She may have become a series regular on First Wave, but notice how suddenly they pulled the plug on that show.
It's amazing, really. Ron Jeremy can act. Who'd've thought it, eh?
I'd be intrigued to know details of Vanessa del Rio's post-porn career.
Also, I was wondering: what happened to Andrea Thompson's much-hyped CNN anchorship?

Oh My God... I have seen Ron Jeremy before in a Conan O'Brian skit where he had adult film stars read the opening paragraph of the US Constitution for 4th of July.
