When she’s not in crap like Grown Ups, although she is quite funny in that movie. Every movie that I’ve seen that has her in it, she always sticks out to me. Especially in dramatic work like A History of Violence, The Cooler, Prisoners, The Company Men, Beautiful Boy, and Thank You for Smoking. The reason she always sticks out because she is so great at displaying all the different emotions and ticks that her character has that gives the character a lot of realism and authenticity. Especially in Beautiful Boy which I think is an acting masterclass by both her and Michael Sheen. If you ever wanted to see an “actors’ movie” then definitely is the one. It really saddens me that recently she hasn’t really been given that role where she can really shine as the lead in a TV show or Movie. All I know is that every role of hers, even Grown Ups, she manages to stand out the most in pretty much all of her movies. Also, sorry for shitting so much on Grown Ups, it’s an easy target
Anyone know why this actress left the show? I guess the character really could have grown into a much better story arc but she left without a proper goodbye and a one liner explaining why the character departed.
I have been trying without much luck to find this 1996 series starring Bakula and Bello in which they play corporate spies who are teamed up but don't really know anything about each other. All I've been able to turn up are the first four episodes someone posted on YouTube, which look like they recorded the TV broadcast on VHS. Any ideas where I could find either legit DVDs or a decent stream of the whole season (it only lasted one before being cancelled)?
Edit: typos.
I loved Slibbs (Jack and Gibbs together) so much in the beginning, but I’m starting to think that she’s better off without him. I liked Gibbs less and less with each season, it’s just too little character development in 18 years for me. He doesn’t talk to her or value her enough, it even feels like he’s playing with her feelings. And I love Jack, she deserves the world. So even though I loved the idea of Slibbs, I think Jack deserves much more and is better off without Gibbs.
I’m also starting to feel this way about Maria Bello. I love her and was therefore over the moon when she began starring in my favorite show, but they are so underusing her! I think she’s better off without NCIS.
So in my opinion Jack deserves more than Gibbs and Maria deserves more than what NCIS gave her, so it’s maybe better that she’s leaving for good.
She's a great actress and I was excited to hear she was casted waaayyy back in 2016. Nothing ever came of it tho. Anyone know what happened or if her character is still on the drawing board?
There was a feature on this morning's CBS News Sunday Morning about chef Dominique Crenn whose fiancee is NCIS's Maria Bello. Maria speaks briefly in the piece. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/award-winning-chef-dominique-crenn-is-determined-to-beat-coronavirus/
