Taylor Schilling Shows No 'Mercy' In New NBC Show

Actress Taylor Schilling stopped by the studio to talk about her starring role as Nurse Veronica Callahan on the new one-hour NBC medical drama Mercy.

The series centers on Veronica, who recently returned to Mercy Hospital from a tour in Iraq, and knows more about medicine than all of the residents combined. Together with fellow nurses Sonia (Jaime Lee Kirchner ) and Chloe (Michelle Trachtenberg), she navigates the daily traumas and social landmines of life and love both inside the hospital and out in the real world.

A Boston native, Schilling graduated with a BA from Fordham University Lincoln Center and is a recipient of the Emerson College Playwright's Festival Outstanding Performance Award. She got her big break when she co-starred alongside Meryl Streep as Jackie in the First Independent Pictures film Dark Matter.

Mercy makes it series premiere on tonight, September 23 at 8pm. For more information, visit www.nbc.com/mercy.
