Jessalyn Gilsig: I'd go be a cop in the morning and interrogate and arrest people, and then in the afternoon I'd go to Nip/Tuck and have sex with random partners. It was really the yin and yang of life.
(edit)
Jessalyn Gilsig: (on what she would change about her high school days) Everything. I would relax a little more. I thought everybody knew what was going on except me, and that I was completely missing the boat. Now, I think I was probably on par with everybody else. So, I'd just cut myself some slack and have more fun.
(edit)
Gilsig: I didn't play hockey as a kid. I played this sport called Ringet, (kind of) like girls' hockey. They don't play it anymore. Girls now play hockey. (Ringet's) kind of like a no contact kind of hockey, so I could always skate.

Jessalyn Gilsig: When I came out to LA I didn’t know that much about film and TV and part of why I really wanted to explore it, other than the obvious reasons, was that there’s a way in film that you learn to be specific and simple. When I went back to do the stage, that was an amazing element to bring back. You really learn in film that less is more. You then learn how to be more economical in what you’re doing on stage, so I find that the two have really communicated for me.
