Paget Brewster (born March 10, 1969 in Concord, Massachusetts) is
an American actress.
Brewster first came to prominent attention in her recurring role
as Kathy, Joey's girlfriend (and later Chandler's) in the
fourth season of Friends. Brewster also had a short-lived
Bay Area talk show. She appeared
in Andy
Richter Controls The Universe and as Beth Huffstodt in the
Showtime series Huff,
which aired from 2004-2006. She currently is known & popular
for playing Special Agent Emily Prentiss on the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds.
In film, Brewster played Ms. Indestructible, the female lead in
James Gunn's low-budget superhero comedy
The
Specials (2000), opposite Thomas Haden Church and Rob Lowe. She also played Amy
Pierson, a calculus teacher afraid of the water, in the independent
film The
Big Bad Swim that premiered at the 2006 Tribeca
Film Festival.
In 2005, Brewster began voice work as a recurring character on
the animated series Harvey Birdman, Attorney at
Law as Judy Sebben/Birdgirl.
On the March 30, 2006 episode of Late Night with Conan
O'Brien, Brewster revealed that she had recently received
a handwritten note indicating Hugh Hefner would like her to pose for
Playboy. She seriously considered the
offer but eventually turned it down for career reasons, even though
her parents gave her their blessing and she said that she admired
Playboy more than magazines such as Maxim
and FHM.[1] She
has, however, photographed spreads of other models for Suicide Girls. Brewster was previously
known as a retro pin-up model in the Los Angeles area, as well as a
retro photographer.
Brewster has volunteered as an actress with the Young
Storytellers Program.
