With the sage advice of a casting director ringing in her ears (“Is everybody going to come in and give the same audition? Because if you feel like they will, then you haven’t worked enough on it”), Fishback entered an audition for a guest spot on the CBS procedural.

The role: a teenager in a Scared Straight-type program.

“I was like, ‘Well, if I’m a teenager, I’m pissed off and I really don’t want to be where I am, then I might not try to be as clear with my words or how I talk to the people in authority. So, I had this necklace that my mom just got me for Christmas, and I decided that I was going to put it in my mouth to talk with it in my mouth.”





The risk worked; when she landed the role — most of her scenes were with a very supportive Donnie Wahlberg — and met with the costume department, the detail about the jewelry had been written into her character.

“That was a big deal for me, to know that what you bring to something as an actor could actually change the course of what people initially thought for my role.”
