Sorry to be so harsh, but I can't stand Jennifer Finnigan. She may be a sweet person and she's cute but average looking, but she's an awful actress. She was not convincing on Close to Home, she was like prosecutor Barbie. On Close to Home, her acting was wooden, stilted and unnatural. The way she acts is almost painfully annoying and boring--it's like she's not even acting at all.

There is absolutely NO dramatics in her voice when she speaks or even expression in her face! Not even when she's talking about something intense! I understand her character is very "important" and reserved, but that doesn't mean she has to bore us all to tears with the NO emotion she has on screen. On Committed, she was a bit better but still annoying as hell. Her idea of acting comedically was raising her voice to be heinously shrill.

Jennifer has played a variety of different roles which I think shows her strength as an actress. To move from playing a dizzy blonde in committed to playing being in a drama like close to home are two completely different roles but she is great in both.

I think she still has more potential and there will be more great stuff to come from her. I chose the talented classification but she is also a personal favourite of mine because she is a really genuine person and down to earth. She used to be shy but decided to do the thing that scared her most performing in front of people and became an actress. Im glad she overcame her fear or I would never have got to see her in close to home one of my favourite shows.

She is kind of cool. She is really a different kind of actress and she has something that not all of them have. Of course, she should star up in more movies to see how she is, but I still think that she is a good actress.

What an actress she is. I'm still surprised by her talents. She can do everything, or close, on TV. Hopefully, she will have the chance to work on a movie and we will be able to enjoy her skills.

Wow. She impresses me with every episode of "Close to Home" totally destroys the whole dumb blone stereotype. Jennifer Finnigan wasn't a household name before, but she certainly is now.

Her portrayal of character of Annabeth Chase is amazing, simply amazing. She is a great actress. I've never seen such a young actress pour so much passion into one role. She overshadowed the hugely popular co-star Christian Kane
(who was killed of later). Annabeth is strong, charasmatic, smart, passionate, sticks by her ideals and Jennifer portrays her perfectly. Annabeth is truly the girl of my dreams not really for her beauty but for all these qualities.

Jennifer is the best reason to watch "Close to Home" if you're a fan of this show, you know how talented she is. She simply is one of the better actresses I've seen in quite a while and that's saying a lot. It's a shame I haven't seen her Daytime work, but "Close to Home" is an excellent , excellent show with a great actress in Finnigan.
