Carrie Preston Says ‘It’s Hard to Top Elsbeth,’ Was ‘Honored to Be Trusted’ With Role


Carrie Preston has been playing detective Elsbeth Tascioni for years, and she exclusively tells Closer that she’s 'honored to be trusted’ with the role.

“We started thinking of her as somebody who was constantly filling her bags with whatever she might need for whatever case,” Carrie exclusively tells Closer. It was a guest spot, and I wasn’t even sure if I was going to be able to play the character more than a couple of times because I was on True Blood. Right now, I’m sitting in a rocking chair looking at a gorgeous flower bed that my husband and I work on in our little country place in the Hudson Valley.
