The Writeup: A veteran of five television shows, including the 2003-2004 season of Fox's 24, Andrea has had an up and down career that's seen generally constant employment but little true stardom. Without a doubt, her most high profile role (aside from 24) was as Detective Jill Kirkendall on NYPD Blue. However, Andrea's highest profile moment came when she decided, early in the new millenium, that she wanted to be a newscaster. She was quickly hired by CNN to be an anchor on Headline News, but it created a furor. It seems that Andrea had posed for some racy nude pictures when she was younger, and CNN was ripped because many believe they were trying to sex up the newscast. They went ahead with the hiring though and she worked for two years before jumping ship and landing on 24.
