inmate profile: Bonnie Dennison

Continuing to shine the Committed spotlight on the creative talent behind Born Bad, premiering on Lifetime Monday, July 11th at 9p.m., today we take a look at actress Bonnie Dennison, the female lead who falls for a guy born bad, thus subjecting her entire family to a wave of terror.

Actress of film, television and stage, Miss Dennison is most-recognized for her work as a series regular on NBC's paramedic-drama Third Watch on which she appeared in 43 episodes, and the CBS soap opera Guiding Light, on which she played "Daisy Lemay" for 286 episodes.

As far as the silver screen is concerned, Miss Dennison has appeared in such films as Black Irish with Melissa Leo, Brendan Gleeson, Michael Angarano and Emily VanCamp, and the upcoming Stake Land with neo-scream-queen Danielle Harris and Kelly McGillis.

Born Bad marks Miss Dennison's first work with the Asylum, and seems to continue her transition towards more mature roles. I'll admit I'm not too familiar with her work - I'm a General Hospital kind of guy - but Stake Land looks like it could be fun, and Born Bad should serve as a fine showcase for her acting chops; boy-crazy teens in love terrorized by said love offer a broad emotional spectrum. My bet is, Miss Dennison knocks it out of the park. 

Tune in Monday, July 11th, on the Lifetime Network at 9p.m. and see if I'm right.
