    Underused hide show

    I love Marianne Jean-Baptiste and think she is one of the if not the best actress in the world. I love the character she plays on Without a trace and would like see more of her in the show and hope she doesn't get pushed to the back since they added a new character on there who in my opinion can't act. I love her accent and love the movies and tv shows she has played in and hope to see her in more and different projects and wish her the best in the career and I think she is underrated and underuse.
