Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

"Everything. I would relax a little more. I thought everybody knew what was going on except me, and that I was completely missing the boat. Now, I think I was probably on par with everybody else. So, I'd just cut myself some slack and have more fun." (on what she would change about her high school days) See more »

Trivia:

In late 1999, she was going to replace actress Paula Marshall who was leaving the series Snoops. However, that show was cancelled before Gilsig was set to join the cast and producer David E. Kelley gave her a role on his next show Boston Public instead. See more »
