As hard as it is to imagine, Jill Hennessy’s heartbreaking “Law & Order” exit came way back in the spring of 1996. But it should come as no surprise Hennessy has kept herself quite busy in the ensuing decades, booking roles in film and television projects spanning virtually every genre.
Hennessy spent the better part of her first post “Law & Order” decade working almost exclusively in film, scoring roles in “A Smile Like Yours,” “The Florentine,” and “Love in the Time of Money.” The early 2000s found Hennessy returning to television full-time. This time, Hennessy fronted her very own crime series, “Crossing Jordan,” which ran for six full seasons before getting the axe. She’s since landed recurring roles on some of television’s best-loved series, including “The Good Wife,” “Madame Secretary,” and “The Blacklist.”
In 2018, Hennessy even made a one-off appearance on Taylor Sheridan’s smash hit Western “Yellowstone,” playing a potentially critical political player in the ongoing game of power grabs. She followed that with a two-episode stint on the CBS hit “Bull,” and joined Kevin Bacon in the cast of his critically-adored Showtime drama, “City on a Hill.” Most recently, she played the mom of a potential school shooter in the Fox anthology series “Accused.” Up next, Hennessy is set to appear in Marvel Studios’ star-studded streamer “Madame Web.” And we cannot wait to see her in her MCU Debut.
