The “Chicago Fire” and “The Good Wife” alum plays a hedonistic federal agent whose life is thrown into disarray when she discovers the body of a murdered woman.Oct. 22, 2021, 1:00 PM UTCAfter six seasons of playing Gabriela Dawson on the hit NBC procedural drama “Chicago Fire,” Monica Raymund was looking for a new creative challenge when she received an offer to lead the gritty Starz crime drama “Hightown” in 2018 — and it was an opportunity she did not want to pass up.
“When I read Rebecca’s pilot, I just knew I wanted to be a part of it, especially because the role is really one about this woman trying to find her way through darkness, trying to find redemption and to fill this big hole in her,” she said during a panel forMonica Raymund, left, in season two of "Hightown.
“We’re now at the point where we might be normalizing and destigmatizing the characteristics of the roles and the humans that occupy that space,” Raymund, whose other acting credits include “Lie to Me” and “The Good Wife,” explained. “It is still quite nascent, but I think that we’re moving quickly in terms of the exposure that we’re seeing of queer, BIPOC characters.
“I try to be as artistic and gentle about it when I talk about this, because I’m not interested in isolating any gender,” she added. “I’m just interested in fortifying our storytelling approaches with more diversity and more inclusion, because more stories are more interesting.”
HightownSTARZ Honestly, I didn't know Monica Raymund until I saw her character in season 1 of Hightown. I really loved her character Jackie, and the show! I recall thinking about all the characters and how each were complex wounded and raw. I was moved to read about the cast. Just great!
