The Black Donnellys was a show about four Irish-American brothers involved with organized crime in Hell's Kitchen.
Created by Paul Haggis, outspoken critic of Scientology and winner of multiple Academy Awards for his work on Million Dollar Baby and Crash, the show debuted on NBC in February of 2007.
Unfortunately, it could not attract a significant viewership and it was canceled officially in May of 2007.
One of the main characters on the show, Jenny Rilley, was played by actress Olivia Wilde.
Prior to this role, she had a memorable appearance as bisexual club manager Alex Kelly in Season Two of The O.C. (2004-2005). In the span of one season, Wilde made out with both Adam Brody and Mischa Barton.
After the cancellation of The Black Donnellys, Wilde was offered and accepted the role of Dr. Remy "Thirteen" Hadley on the show House. Her character was on this show also happens to be bisexual, to the delight of imaginations everywhere.
She joined the cast in September of 2007, less than five months after the cancellation of The Black Donnellys.
Had The Black Donnellys been renewed for a second season, she may never have been on House, where she remained a (mostly) regular cast member for a total of eighty-one episodes from 2007 until 2012.
