Love on the set
Brenneman's first big break came when she was cast as police officer Janice Licalsi on the television series NYPD Blue in 1993. Her role was that of an officer with mafia connections who is instructed to kill lead character John Kelly (played by David Caruso), but she instead kills the mobster who ordered the hit. While on the set, Brenneman began a relationship with one of the shows directors, Brad Silberling. The two would eventually marry.
