Brigid does not have any children so she tries to imitate her sisters and their lives with their children in acting as Pamela on Army Wives in order to provide a realistic portrayal of the character.
Pamela never spent a lot of time around boys growing up. She spent a lot of time around her husband and his friends later in her life and she uses her experiences to in acting out the masculine side of her character Pamela on Army Wives.
Brigid: (On what she hopes viewers take away from watching Army Wives) Well I really hope that people get, even if just a little glimpse, some perspective on what these military families go through.
Brigid: (On what she wants to tell her fans) Thank you. I couldn't really do what I do unless people are watching. I do love what I do immensely. Other than that, I would just hope that every one really gets to enjoy what they do as much as I have that opportunity.
Brigid: (On why she wanted to be a part of Army Wives) Well, it is Mark Gordon's company and he also does Grey's Anatomy. He also did the film The Matador with Pierce Brosnan. He's just great! His production and everyone working on this are just amazing artists, in terms of the stories that they bring to life. For that alone, I'd pretty much go to hell and back because they are just so talented and they care so deeply.
