MISSY PEREGRYM

“Movie: The Secrets We Keep”
“Jann”
Noomi Rapace (“The Girl Who Played
With Fire”) stars as a woman in post-
World War II America who kidnaps
a neighbor she believes committed
heinous war crimes against her in this
2020 drama from writer/director Yuval
Adler (“Bethlehem,” “The Operative”).
Joel Kinnaman (“For All Mankind”),
Chris Messina (“Argo”) and Amy
Seimetz (“Pet Sematary”) also star.
From CTV in Canada comes this
comedy series, which stars Canadian
singer/songwriter/actress Jann Arden
(“Workin’ Moms”) as a fictionalized
version of herself, just out of a long-
term relationship with a female
partner and on a quest for renewed
fame. Deborah Grover, Zoie Palmer
and Elena Juatco are also in the cast.
(ORIGINAL)
As she performs “FBI” duty now, Missy Peregrym also is on
another case: parenthood.
The “Rookie Blue” alum missed much of the CBS drama’s
second season as she and actor husband Tom Oakley
welcomed their first child, Otis. She’s now back for Season 3,
which has aired only two new episodes, having been delayed
by the coronavirus pandemic ... but it returns with a special
Sunday airing after the AFC championship football game Jan.
24, then resumes in its usual Tuesday slot two nights later.
“ ‘Overwhelming’ is probably the best word,” the friendly
Peregrym allows of her new balance between work and
family. “It’s a lot of adjustments and changes. I didn’t really
consider myself a career person until I had a child, and now,
work is completely different because all I’m thinking about
is Otis. You’re so emotionally attached to this person, and it’s
something you’ve never experienced before.”
Peregrym is grateful, therefore, to be back in the company
of “FBI” co-workers she already knew well. “It would be
much harder if it was a brand-new job,” she reasons. “It feels
really nice to have the same team.”
Maggie Bell’s (Peregrym) return to FBI duty has been
marked by her revelation to partner “OA” (Zeeko Zaki) that
she is romantically involved with a colleague from her recent
undercover assignment.
“I think it’s a really big deal for Maggie to have somebody
in her life in a serious way,” Peregrym reflects. “Especially
because of what happened to her husband (a reporter who
died in a supposed car accident), she’d probably want to keep
it as private as possible. There’s been some good character
stuff.”
