as Sam in two Crossing Jordan episodes. Reception USA Today gave the show a two-star review and said, "What truly strains belief—and your viewing patience—are the absurd quirks Jordan adds to its plot and its characters to try to set itself apart." The New York Times called it "engaging and entertaining" and "Hennessy gives Jordan an appealing, loose-cannon attitude." Broadcast Crossing Jordan premiered in 2001 on NBC. It aired on Mondays, Fridays, Sundays and finally Wednesdays for its final episodes. The show was put on hiatus for most of the 2003–2004 season to accommodate Hennessy's real-life pregnancy.
