When network flacks push their new shows' stars before the media in search of publicity, the stories inevitably follow one of two forms: a) self-effacing: "I'm exactly like my crazy/quirky/dark character so I can totally relate!" or b) self-aggrandizing: "I'm really nothing like my crazy/quirky/dark character, I'm just such a great artist that I completely transform myself!" This headline misdirects you to think Committed star Jennifer Finnegan is about to give an A story, but zigs to B. And not only has she overcome her neuroses to play a fearless character (she's an artiste!), she's overcome her own fear of comedy, which sounds a lot harder than, say, infantry duty in Falluja: "It's scary and it's challenging and you put yourself on the line. That's the reason I decided to try it." So brave!
