Fbi’s Missy Peregrym Takes On A New Role, A Loving Relationship, And A Fresh Perspective On Facing Her Fears
MISSY PEREGRYM IS STANDING IN THE KITCHEN of her new Brooklyn apartment, pouring maple syrup into her coffee like a good Canadian, when she lets it slip that she turned down working for Dick Wolf “not once, but twice.”
Wolf, for anyone who hasn’t seen a television in the last 30 years, is the creator of the Law & Order franchise and the reigning king of the procedural genre. The original Law & Order series ran strong for an astonishing 20 years. Its spinoff Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is set to hit that mark next year and is still churning out episodes that echo the news of the day.
This fall’s FBI—a true-to-form Wolf gripper also starring Jeremy Sisto, Zeeko Zaki, and Ebonée Noel—follows a tight-knit group of highly trained federal agents in New York City, home of the bureau’s largest field office and the most dangerous spot on the terror threat matrix. Among those agents is series protagonist Maggie Bell, a tenacious, whip-smart law enforcement officer committed to keeping the city and the country safe from all manner of threats. Early on, the series’ producers wanted Peregrym for the role. But Peregrym wasn’t biting.
Cue that Law & Order “chung-chung” sound.
