You are brilliant Maura. I am going to miss "The Affair". Very humble and genuine person.

[@MD-wk3gj]

ER was an amazing show and Maura was a powerful lead for that show and gave massive depth to her character.

[@Kodu212]

Maura is one of my favorite actors and she was so brilliant as Abby on ER and in everything she does!!

[@1Molehill]

A very eye opening interview. She comes across as a very down to earth and humble person

[@angelaohanian8036]

She’s a brilliant actress.. I’ve loved her since ER!

[@thenextrung]

Since News Radio😎

@@thenextrung Yup, And I loved here there as well.

I will miss her as Helen and the entire Affair. What an amazing final episode. Great cast, acting and writing.

[@FloatingxClouds]

She seems so smart, humble and honest

[@franhanchi]

She's such good actress. Love her.

[@gustavoalejandro]

I love this actress, her simple manners, her voice, also, it seems as if she´s a humble woman. I loved her in THE AFFAIR. Hope to see her in any other work soon.

Incredible interview. Both the host and guest have a wit, necessary for the viewers to gain something new and valuable. She is a very inteligent person and an amazing actress. Thank you.

Class act! she was brilliant on the Affair,

I don’t watch TV much (there was no TV in the house growing up), so I first saw Maura in the movie “Insomnia” with Al Pacino. Maura has a small part and was really impressive to me in her time on the screen. Since then I have watched YT videos of her, mainly interviews and really enjoy her off-screen personality. I think she’s great as a person as I haven’t actually seen very much of her professional work. 🙂

Maura Tierney’s Helen was the best part of The Affair, IMO. I don’t think the show’s creators envisioned Helen to be a lead character, but Maura is too talented to just be an ensemble player. She’s so watchable. I still watch it on Prime, and I fast-forward through the Noah/Allison scenes to get to Helen/Vic & Cole.

[@Greekarican7]

Glad I’m not the only that does that lol I can’t get enough of her acting. Catch her on Electric Dreams ep 9 “Safe & Sound” on Prime. She’s the coolest!

[@pam0626]

@@Greekarican7 Thanks for the recommendation!

[@itsmegmira]

yeah, she is really good. love her on "the affair", just in general- she seems like a really cool person

[@shaundejwan9035]

I just discovered Maura Tierney on The Affair, wow I’ve been missing out. Beautiful actress inside and out. Hope to see more of her on TV.

[@nikkirichards6050]

She one of my favorite actresses

[@khymaaren]

"I'm an actor, I'm grossly overpaid." It's rare to hear this from a performer. Jennifer Lawrence should take notes.

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

The Affair is a great show; so intense. One of my all time favorites.

[@knappflickan]

She’s such a gem! ♥️

[@leonardo47000]

So gorgeous smart and now more than ever. The perfect Irish catholic woman. It’s so easy to get a little crush on her and at first sight. Such a versatile actor.

[@MedalionDS9]

She'll always be Lisa Miller from Newsradio to me, but I also saw her in Liar Liar. I know she was in ER but I never watched that show regularly but may have seen her a few times when I tuned in when she joined them.

[@nancybodwell4335]

Such an amazing actress!

[@mariarosales5240]

Love her!!!!

[@joelybgood]

I watch "The Affair" JUST bc of Maura. The end.

[@haczabim]

She maes it worth it, otherwise...even she doesn't like Helen

[@zina6653]

I loved her in The Affair and Dominic West! She’s so beautiful and talented..great actress

[@jpnewtrend5242]

Superb job on the affair, I'm a superfan!! greetings from Uruguay.

[@darwinkilledgod]

She was great in the sitcom Newsradio. You can see most episodes on KZbin for the moment. It's really interesting. It's also where Joe Rogan got his start.

[@mrhanafi123]

i love her in LIAR LIAR

[@haczabim]

24:50 He got game! Nice one Larry

[@alfiatkoalfiatko641]

wow, you are really like Helen from The Affair. Wow, lucky You, you do not have to pretend much. Tomorrow new episode of 4 season. If Noa won't back to Helen i will start hate that program. You are super Tierney!

[@babe7401]

I thought she was friend with Laura Innes, but she not mentioned her among her friends from ER, only the "new" group

[@richimeyer394]

I love you

[@frantisekjanosik5339]

she's symphaty..

[@st.jamesgagger3114]

She is NOT even close to being a Republican. I can’t even imagine using feminist, activist and Republican in the same sentence!

[@darwinkilledgod]

12:20 I sense a closet Republican.
