If you want great acting, she will come. The Field of Dreams allusion is purposeful. The leading lady from that film, Amy Madigan, is joining ABC's Grey's Anatomy. The actress who's a past Oscar-nominee for Twice in a Lifetime will have a recurring role, becoming part of the Seattle Grace Hospital coterie on April 24 when the show returns with new episodes.Last year, Amy was seen in Ben Affleck's Gone Baby Gone, which interestingly came out soon after she appeared on CBS's Criminal Minds for two shows. Going from features to television is clearly not a problem for the gifted actress. In fact, she won a Golden Globe for the TV movie Roe vs. Wade in 1990.
On Grey's Anatomy, Amy Madigan will be playing a psychiatrist. She's slated for all the final five shows of the season. No word yet on whether she's going to continue with the show next fall when it comes back for its third season.
As you might know (but maybe you don't), Amy Madigan is married to actor Ed Harris, and they've appeared on screen together in six movies, including Gone Baby Gone and Places in the Heart. It was on the latter film that they first met.
