Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Patricia Wettig. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Our pick of the best TV shows on Aussie screens this week, including The Grammy Awards, Survivor: Samoa finale, the premiere of The Good Wife and new seasons of many of our favourites.
One very talented actress who is very underrated but she is good at what she does best. Showing her range of emotions and range of acting that you are supposed to expect. And maybe beyond but in a good kind of way. She first came to attention as the cancer-stricken wife on Thirtysomething which starred her real-life husband Ken Olin. But he didn't play her husband in the show. Glad that she is back on regular tv on Brothers & Sisters. And that she does really well and glad that she and the other castmates get along really well! Underrated but very talented!
I compare Patricia Wettig to Meryl Streep. She is the Meryl Streep of television. I watched her on "thirtysomething" and actually utilized her performance in my profession working with cancer patients and educating professionals on how to communicate with patients and caregivers dealing with a life threatening illness. I still use these scenarios in my speeches.
She is fantastic on "Brothers and Sisters" along with the other stars. They compliment each other. I am pleased to see her and her husband working on another project. I also would utilize Ken Olin's role as Michael as one of the more supportive characters of what Nance was going through. I classify him as the silent support.
Congradulations to both of them and please continue with the first rate TV.

Patricia Wettig is currently best known aong the majority of the population for her role as Vice President in the hit series Prison Break. In the fall, this may cause conflict with her new show that's trying to take off, Brotehrs and Sisters. Don't get me wrong; I think that Wettig is a fine character. Honestly, part of her lack of appeal to me is probably that I don't really like her character/her look in Prison Break. She seems very hard to me. I suppose that either makes her an amazing actress or a very hard woman in general. I don't think that the show would flounder at all without her; I enjoy her storyline, but the Prison Break writers are smart. I'm sure that they could easily find a way to write her off, need be.
