Age: 31
Hometown: Montreal
You know her from: Her earlier prime-time roles as forensic pathologist Devan Maguire on NBC’s Crossing Jordan and deputy prosecutor Annabeth Chase on CBS' Close to Home.
Why she’s hot: Finnigan stars as Maddie Putney on the ABC show Better with You, the People’s Choice Award–nominated comedy by Friends writer Shana Goldberg-Meehan.
Foodie fix: “My comfort foods are red wine and dark chocolate. And potatoes, in any form.”
Great gizmo: “I go into panic mode if my BlackBerry isn’t within sight.”
Bad advice: “The worst (or maybe best) ever was, ‘I know it’s 3 a.m., but if we leave now, we can make it to Vegas by dawn!’”
Shower serenade: “‘Total Eclipse of the Heart,’ which is also my go-to karaoke song, FYI.”
Guilty pleasure: “I love bad reality TV. . . . Is there really any good reality TV?”
