Acting Career

Dawson’s Creek

Dawson’s Creek was a drama series set in Massachusetts that ran on The WB. The show ran for 128 episodes from 1998 to 2003, and Meredith Monroe appeared in 69 of them from 1998 to 2001.

The show was a big hit as it aired and launched the careers of actors such as James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, and Michelle Williams.

Meredith Monroe’s character, Andie McFee, was not considered part of the “core four” but a hugely important character in the show’s early run. She would be introduced in season 2 but exit by season 4.

At first, Andie was a well-regarded character, but fans grew to dislike her for some of her actions on the show.

By the time the fourth season was being written, the writers were unsure of where to take the character and wrote her off the show. She got a chance to reprise the character for the series finale, but those scenes were ultimately cut, but can be seen as DVD extras.

Criminal Minds

Beyond Dawson’s Creek, she is well-known for her role in the crime procedural Criminal Minds. The show would run on CBS from 2005 to 2020 for over 320 episodes.

Meredith Monroe would appear in 16 of them over a few years, playing Haley Hotchner, the wife of lead character Aaron Hotchner, played by Thomas Gibson. Her character would eventually end up murdered by a recurring serial killer.

Other Roles

Regarding her film career, she would be best remembered as a public service announcer in 2002’s Minority Report. She also appeared in the films Wake (2009), Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011), and The Edge of Seventeen (2016).
