30Something Female Detective: Hilary Swank

Remember when any question about the best young actresses working in Hollywood would always include a mention of Ms Swank? After reeling off great performance after great performance in the early to mid 2000s, Swank started to level off a bit and I honestly can’t recall the last truly great performance of hers that resonated with the public like her early films did. I think a marriage of Swank’s talent and the writing of TRUE DETECTIVE’s Nic Pizzolatto would result in some high quality television. Swank can play every emotional range on the spectrum, she can give you quiet strength for days and she would be more than up for the job of being the first female lead in this series.
