CHICAGO — Early in her career, “CSI: Vegas” star and Chicago native Paula Newsome was a local theater actor. By chance, this was around the same time that her future “CSI” co-star William Petersen was also doing theater in Chicago.
Coming up on the show, Newsome has a major storyline airing March 30. “The storyline involves a tragedy — it’s a cold case — and it affects my character in such a deep way,” said Newsome.
Her credits include everything from the Dolly Parton comedy “Straight Talk” to ABC’s “Women’s Murder Club” to NBC’s “Chicago Med,” and perhaps most vividly, as the police detective who meets her demise on HBO’s “Barry.”
