Please. There is a PSA airing on the NBC network and affiliates that is driving me nuts because I cannot place one of the actresses. Here is the layout: Black actor says: “I’m the ocean, blah de blah blah, don’t pollute me.” Don’t care about him. White, blonde actress says: “Im the sky, blah de blah blah, don’t pollute me.” Don’t care about her. Then, some incredibly beautiful dark haired maybe hispanic, maybe italian but definitely hot chick says: “I’m the river, the earth, yada yada, whatever, don’t pollute me.” I have got to know who this woman is. I know she is an actress, all of those NBC PSA people are actors, but I don’t recognize any of them. I don’t care about any of the others but this woman is so pretty and looks so familiar I am hoping somebody knows who she is. Anyone? Bueller? ---

I assume [this](http://www.imeem.com/nbc/video/NqbWeuU3/nbc_dont_pollute_me_the_more_you_know_tv_video/) is the PSA you’re asking about? The dark haired woman is [Linda Cardenllini](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004802/). ---

I think it’s the dark hair…I always think of her as blonde because most of the ER segments I watched with her on them, she had lighter hair. ---

Good lord, Lindsay Weir has grown up a few years, hasn’t she? If you look at her [IMDB photo gallery](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004802/mediaindex) it looks like she spent a few years as a blonde too. Looks _completely_ different. ---

[QUOTE=ZipperJJ] Good lord, Lindsay Weir has grown up a few years, hasn’t she? [/QUOTE] This is something I don’t get. She was 25 when Freaks and Geeks was on. How much more growing up can she do?
