girl teenager character
I get letters from kids, teenagers and young girls who just want to be Mac. I've had quite a few people actually say that they're going to become a Marine or a JAG lawyer because of me... the character. I think that's pretty cool!
marine mets flattering
Almost every Marine I've met says I portray a Marine dead-on, which is really, really flattering.
fitness healthy vitamins
When I do get time, I like to hike and I take lots of vitamins and powders to keep healthy.
birthday stars fun
The main prank that we play with props is for people's birthdays. The special effects people will put a little explosive in the cake so it blows up in their face - that's always fun to play on a guest star, or one of the trainees or someone who's new.
way sometimes hours
Sometimes you work all the way through to 5am, then get a few hours and you're back on set again.
people fans kind
But, people are recognizing me more. Sometimes fans just approach me on the street and say how much they love the show. It's great to get that kind of feedback.
jobs hands creating
Creating my own roles, as an actor, is great. You're so at the mercy of other people, and you're waiting for a job. That's just a horrible way to live, so I just decided to take matters into my own hands, find my own projects, and create them myself, and then do other stuff that people might throw my way as well.

Probably right at the end of JAG, I would love to have a child or two. I ultimately want to have two kids.
sports adventure safe
I like all the adventure sports but I like to do them in a safe way.

The best part? Probably being able to portray such a respectable, ethical, intelligent, strong woman. That's still pretty rare in our business, unfortunately.
guy stills
I'm still one of the guys and I always will be
military judging acronyms
JAG is an acronym for the Judge Advocate General, which is the judicial system of the military
couple years acting
I started acting when I was about 18. I was a model for a couple of years before that
kids race phones
We're just into toys, whether it's motorcycles or race cars or computers. I've got the Palm Pilot right here with me, I've got the world's smallest phone. Maybe it's just because I'm still a big little kid and I just love toys, you know?
