The American film and television actress has just finished a five-year co-starring contract in the HBO drama “Big Love”. The production team of Criminal Minds added Jeanne Tripplehorn as a regular in the series.
The CBS officials told us that the contract has been signed for one year but has the possibility to prolong it for one more. So the premiere of the eight season will introduce this change which is expected with great thrill.
Executive producer Erica Messer has declared that the Criminal Minds team is thrilled to have Jeanne join them as a profiler. Tripplehorn will play a new FBI profiler but details about the character are undisclosed.
She tested the comedy series world with an appearance in the Fox’s “New Girl”. The next move for her is offered also by CBS and CBS TV Studios who will develop her a comedy project.
Criminal Minds brings a six-figure salary per episode in Jeanne Tripplehorn’s bank account. She filled the void left by the departure of veteran Paget Brewster who portrayed Emily Prentiss from 2006 until 2011, for about 125 episodes.
Jeanne Tripplehorn is repped by Gersh and Brillstein Entertainment. Her recent projects were in the Lifetime anthology movie “Five” and a TV movie role in HBO’s “Grey Gardens”. This role in “Grey Gardens” earned her an Emmy nomination.
Jeanne Tripplehorn is an American film and television actress that became famous through her roles starring opposite Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct, Tom Cruise in The Firm, and Kevin Costner in Waterworld.
Her parents are Suzannne and Tom Tripplehorn- a once guitarist with Gary Lewis & the Playboys. She grew up in a dissolve family since she was two and her parents divorced. She is a graduate of the Edison High School, class 1981 and subsequently attended Julliard School’s Drama Division from 1986 until 1990. |
