the closer

...Kyra Sedgwick is one wicked actress. Now this post isn't so much about the Emmys as much as it is Kyra's character Brenda Johnson on "The Closer".

I have a tiny confession to make first and that is this: I loathe southern accents. I resent myself for this but I even make an attempt to avoid the south, period. I mean all the manniersms and formalities and even the mind-set. Well...I can't get past it. It's mostly the accent though. I had a three hour layover in Georgia last week and I couldn't wait to get out of there. This all makes me very sad.

But I have to give kudos to Sedgwick for doing an outstanding job playing the role of Brenda Johnson. The character is so unexpected, refreshing, and spot-on. I can't stand the mannerisms, the accent, or that polite formal smile she always has plastered on her face but I sort of love her character anyways and appreciate how much it contrasts with her rather ambitious inner bitch. She gets the job done and she doesn't take crap from anyone.
