Happy birthday to Patricia Wettig

by Terri

Happy 55th birthday today to Patricia Wettig, who plays Holly on Brothers & Sisters and is married to series executive producer Ken Olin. To most fiftysomethings and fortysomethings, she’s best-known for playing Nancy Weston on thirtysomething. But she’s also had memorable roles as Vice President Caroline Reynolds on Prison Break and as psychologist Dr. Judy Barnett on Alias, also executive produced by Olin. Trivia question: Wettig’s thirtysomething spouse is on another show making its debut this season. Name the actor and the show; the answer is in the comments.
