Watching The 4400

What we do here every Monday is spotlight an actor , just to show y’all what these great actors are doing outside of the show. Our next actor is multi-talented Jacqueline McKenzie, who plays the no-nonsense mother Diana Skouris.

Jacqueline McKenzie has a long and distinguished career in front of the camera outside of the 4400, starting in Australian cinema to guest starring wonderful American network programs, such as CBS’s Without a Trace. The first place that I remember seeing her was watching Romper Stomper, one of the best Australian cinematic exports ever, in my opinion, though her turn in Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is a favorite of mine, also.

Outside of acting, she is also a very accomplished musician, and you can hear some absolutely ethereal selections of her work on her official site.

Interesting Trivia from Jacqueline McKenzie’s IMDB Profile:

Her portrait was painted by acclaimed artist Gary Shead for the Archibald Prize.

Was given a Green Card in March 2001 for “Person of Extraordinary Ability”.

Whilst working on Paul Cox’s “The Human Touch”, she discovered painting.

She graduated from Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) with a degree in Performing Arts (Acting) in 1990.

The 4400 Guide posted that the 4400 Soundtrack finally has a release date of April 24, 2007 via Amazon.com. While they don’t have any track listings yet, the 4400 Guide says that you can find a sample from Jacqueline McKenzie’s contribution to the album on her official site. I’m really impressed by it, and I hope that this means that even more of the cast members who are talented artists (like Patrick Flueger and Chad Faust) will be contributing tracks to the album.

Pre-order the album here.
