- Hollywood hasn’t changed Elizabeth Banks all that much. The Pittsfield native, who costars with Russell Crowe in “The Next Three Days,’’ tells Self magazine she’s always coming back to see her family. “If my sister is having a party, we’re getting on a plane,’’ says Banks. “My husband jokes about how much time we spend with family, considering how far they are. But it’s important.’’ The actress, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, reveals she belongs to a book group with “CSI: NY’’ actress Anna Belknap and Sarah Chalke of “Scrubs.’’ “Sometimes, our discussions are fairly heated. We recently read Michael Pollan’s ‘In Defense of Food.’ That . . . made me rethink my eating habits.’’ In her new movie, Banks plays a woman put away for murder. “To prepare for the role, I read a lot about the penal system and I visited a prison. I was locked in a cell for three minutes, at which point I wanted to cry,’’ she said. “I have a good idea now of what Lindsay Lohan went through."

- CSI:NY Star Relaxes At Home For The Holidays
By Kim Fletcher
Anna Belknap, a successful actor on the popular CBS television series CSI:NY playing Crime Scene Investigator Detective Lindsay Monroe Messer, is back in her hometown of Damariscotta celebrating the Christmas holiday with her friends, family, and parents Louise and David Belknap.
It's been five years since she landed the plum role. In 2005, she was only in her mid-20s and was a newlywed. Today she and husband, writer/actor Eric Siegel, have two small children, Olive, 4, and George, 2, and she's celebrating the program's seventh (her sixth) successful season.
Belknap has changed little in appearance since 2005 when she chatted amiably at a café in Damariscotta. Now, however, she's a successful actress, experienced mother, and she exudes a quiet and relaxed self-confidence that comes with maturity and hard work.
Belknap spoke briefly of how the show is doing, and of CSI:NY's time change from Wednesday nights, to Fridays. "It's not great - being on Friday nights at 8 [p.m.] but it sure is better for people in Maine," she said, smiling at her mother. Louise agrees - she really enjoys the earlier time slot.
Anna acknowledges the Wednesday time slot at 10 p.m. was a great one, since many viewers are home mid-week, "but, we have a solid audience, and hopefully they follow us [to Friday nights]," she said.
Five years ago, Anna talked about "living her dream; being a working actor," and while she is continuing on that road today, there's much more personal conversation about family as well as career.
When speaking of her kids, it's plain to see the Siegel children are the apple of their parents' eyes, not to mention their grandparents, Louise and David.
"They [Olive and George] call her 'Grandma Oui," Belknap said, referring to her mother, and she praises her mother's way with her grandchildren. "She's firm, but kind," she said, then of her own upbringing, "she's a great mom."
Being able to see her own daughter on a weekly television program Louise said, "We have the most fun. They are way out there [in California], and I can see her every week."
Understandably, Anna likes Lindsay, her CSI character. "She's smart. She's always trying to figure out how to do her job better. After all, she's a scientist," she said. With a laugh Anna said, "There's a joke on the set that 'yet again, Lindsay solves the case.' I might be in there only a few minutes, but I solve the case."
According to Louise, Anna's personality is very similar to Lindsay's. "When I'm watching...that's Anna," she said. "Except for the science thing," Anna quips.
As Anna explains it further, there are also big differences between the actor and her character. "I would not be in a lab, and the civil servant thing...I'm an actor," she said.
"She's made me cry a couple of times [as Lindsay]," Louise said, and she recognizes Anna's qualities while she's in character. "She's just very natural; she just plays herself...a very natural actor."
The Belknaps are now used to seeing Anna on TV, but in the beginning when she set out to become an actor, they were nervous for her.
Louise said it was Anna's dad, David, who was very worried. "He worried about her having a life; making a living," she said.
After graduating from Lincoln Academy in 1990, Anna set off for Middlebury College in Vermont, where the theater bug bit her. With her eyes still set on the stage, she earned her Master of Fine Arts degree from the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, where she met husband Eric. The couple later married in 2004.
Belknap racked up stage credentials after graduation, acting summers with the Williamstown Festival in Williamstown, Mass., and moving to New York City, she auditioned and cut her teeth in regional theatre throughout the country.
Needing to make a living, she headed to Los Angeles to audition for the pilot season. Louise remembers counseling Anna when trying out for roles, to "go out there and sell yourself."
Thinking of Anna's very first television role in 1996, Louise said, "She had a bit part on "Homicide" ["Homicide: Life On The Street], and she was on there for all of about 20 seconds. We were so excited. David and I didn't think they put her in there enough."
Anna is now a working mom, comfortable juggling home and career. She just beams when speaking of her daughter Olive being in pre-school but acknowledges her CSI:NY acting schedule though conducive to family life, can be exhausting.
Her shooting schedule is flexible since according to a given script, her character may be featured a little or a lot in any given episode. "It's ideal in some ways," she said, but also admits it is back to the CSI:NY set once Christmas is over.
On average there are 22 to 25 episodes per season. The next installment, "To What End?" scheduled to air on Wed., Jan. 14 at 8 p.m. is episode 11, and by that count, Anna Belknap has more than a half season more to shoot.
In mid-December 2010, CSI:NY celebrated its 150th episode, in itself a testament to its popularity. Anna's honest reaction to learning the fact is completely disarming. "Really? Wow, that's great. I didn't know."

| Merci beaucoup pour cet article, j'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à le lire. Anna semble être quelqu'un de naturel et terre à terre, une fille qui apprécie les valeurs familiales et qui fait vivre sa famille financièrement ; elle a tout pour elle. | |

- Anna Belknap is in for quite a day -- fueled largely by Green Day -- on "CSI: NY."
- Spoiler:
Now back in its former time slot after CBS' quick benching of "Made in Jersey," the crime procedural airs a new episode Friday (Oct. 19) that's a big gamble for a TV drama: A sizable chunk of the story has no dialogue. Largely new music by the Grammy-winning Green Day functions as "narration," as forensic police detective Lindsay Monroe Messer (Belknap) is hurt in the frenzy following an attempt on a politician's (guest star Neal McDonough) life.
Appropriately subtitled "Unspoken," the tale posed built-in challenges for Belknap and such other "CSI: NY" stars as Gary Sinise and Sela Ward. "When I was reading the script, I didn't realize it would be the debut of all this music," Belknap tells Zap2it of the included tunes from "Green Day ¡Dos!" (to be released Nov. 13) and "Green Day ¡Tre!" (coming Jan. 15). "I was looking on the Internet, and I was like, 'I can't find these anywhere!'
"We didn't have a chance to know what it was going to sound like, but it's peppered all through the first two acts. There's no dialogue, and it was the biggest challenge for Pam (Veasey, one of the show's executive producers), who wrote the episode ... or didn't write the episode, as the case may be. She managed to get a lot across with looks and unspoken communication between people."
Still, there couldn't be a "CSI: NY" episode that didn't have any dialogue at all about bullet trajectory, blood type and so forth. "That kicks in a little later," Belknap confirms, "but Pam manages a lot of exposition just with the looks between the actors."
And for the actors, who also included several children, it wasn't as easy as one might think to do the job without having to memorize lines. "I kept catching myself saying things," muses Belknap, "ad-libbing them by accident. When you come up to your husband and daughter, you just want to say, 'Hey!' It was kind of hard not to."
Actually, like mime Marcel Marceau getting the one spoken word in Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie," Belknap gets to utter the single line said in the "CSI: NY" story's first two acts.
"We're at a big political rally, and Lindsay's daughter Lucy wanders off. Pam said, 'I couldn't justify a mom not knowing where her child went and not screaming her name to find her.' So there is one moment where I say, 'Lucy!,' but even that is pretty much drowned out by whatever is happening on the stage at the rally."
A "CSI: NY" co-star since its second season, Belknap is pleased the series -- now in its ninth year -- is devoting increased time to its characters' personal lives, as with Friday's rare chance to see Lindsay as a parent.
"You're getting to see more of what these people are like when they're not at work," says the real-life mother of two. "it just adds to the whole imaginative part of the show, if you can picture where these people are when they're not at the crime lab."
