How Come I Recognize Maggie Lawson?
If you’re not watching Psych on USA, you should be. Obviously Dule Hill, previously Charlie on the West Wing, is great, and I’ve been surprised at how good James Roday, the dude who plays Shawn Spencer, otherwise known as Psych. But Maggie Lawson, the actress who plays Juliet, is my stealth favorite character on the series, and she looks eerily familiar. But then, when I look at her resume, I don’t see anything I would recognize. I didn’t watch Party of Five, so I can’t recall her guest turn as Alexa, and I have no idea what either “Crumbs” or “It’s all Relative” even are. I’m forced to go through my mind trying to recall her on Felicity, for one episode in season 1 where she played Rebecca. Maybe I saw her as Nancy Drew in the 2002 TV movie?
She’s good on the show, so that’s something.

I actually remember her from a Disney Channel movie called “Model Behavior” in which she played identical strangers, a teen model and a high school student, who switched lives. (My daughter made me watch it, really!)
The other “Hey, it’s that actress!” in the cast for me is Kirsten Nelson, the police chief, was the young Mrs. Landingham in the “Two Cathedrals” episode of “The West Wing.”
