Annie Parisse (“National Treasure”) joins the esteemed cast of NBC’s Emmy-winning series “Law & Order” as the new Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Borgia. She debuts in the “Law & Order” episode “Fluency” on January 19, 2005.
“Annie is a terrific actress, and her new character (Alexandra Borgia) is an exotic beauty whose looks belie the fact that she is usually the smartest person in the room,” said Dick Wolf creator and executive producer of “Law & Order.”
Said Parisse: “I'm so excited to be a part of such a great show. I had so much fun when I did an episode several years ago and I'm really looking forward to working with everyone on a regular basis.”
Parisse guest-starred on “Law & Order” during the 2001-02 season and on NBC’s “Friends” in an episode broadcast last January. Her previous films include “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” and “On the Q.T.” She currently stars as Agent Dawes in the blockbuster theatrical film “National Treasure,” starring Nicolas Cage, and in upcoming features such as “Prime” starring Meryl Streep and Uma Thurman as well as “Monster In Law” starring Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda.
Parisse also portrayed Julia Lindsey Snyder on the daytime drama “As the World Turns” from 1998-2001 and again in 2002. Her other primetime guest-starring credits include NBC’s “Third Watch” and “Big Apple.”
