It’ll be a busy couple of weeks for sometime-actress Jill Quigg. Her latest flick, “The Fighter,” ::box:: in which she plays one of Mark Wahlberg’s seven brawling, chain-smoking, expletive-spewing sisters, just opened to rave reviews. And in January, Jill’s due back in Quincy District Court for a restitution hearing after she pleaded guilty to stealing a 32-inch, flat-screen TV!
Quigg, 35, who got her first shot at stardom playing Amy Ryan’s dysfunctional doppelganger Dottie in Ben Affleck’s “Gone Baby Gone,” was arrested in Quincy in October for breaking into an apartment and stealing the aforementioned flat screen and a computer printer.
Jill and her 28-year-old boyfriend, Georgios Keskinidis , were collared after neighbors reported seeing the pair carting the loot from a house on South Street. Although Quigg claimed she and George were a pair of citizen “crime fighters” who retrieved the items after they caught a black man stealing them, she pleaded guilty to boosting the stuff in November. Quigg got probation and has a hearing Jan. 6 to determine the amount of restitution she must pay.
“She did a great job in the movie,” said Angela Peri of Boston Casting , who got Quigg the gig in “The Fighter.” “I hope she can overcome this stuff she’s going through because she’s a good character actor. Ben Affleck saw something in her, and if she could get her act together, I could probably put her to work. She already has two huge credits that some actors would work their whole life for.”
