In Season 9, the final season, of "CSI: NY," in an episode called "Unspoken," Jenna Ortega played the unfortunate victim of an accidental shooting. In the episode, a shooter goes to a large rally and attempts to shoot the school superintendent, and then abandons his gun in a dumpster. Two children fish the gun out of the dumpster and the tragic end seems almost inevitable as a young boy shoots his friend, Aimee. Aimee is identified in the dialogue as Aimee DeSilva, however, there's no such person listed in the episode's credits. Both the credits and IMDb list Ortega as having played Aimee Moore. No other actor is credited as an Aimee or even an Amy, so presumably, the character of Aimee was considered such an unimportant plot device that nobody could remember her last name.
Now that Ortega is the star of the huge Netflix hit, "Wednesday," it's unlikely that anyone will forget her characters' names again. As for how she's settled into the role of Wednesday, Ortega told Netflix's Tudum that it was fun because of how different of a character Wednesday Addams is from her real self. "It was a very freeing, gratifying experience, because you don't have to care," the actor explained. "If you're in a bad mood, and you have a stink face, it doesn't matter. She sticks to her guns, and she's not out to please anybody. Which, as someone who used to be an immense people pleaser, I really respect." Thus, it seems like she's finally getting roles that she can sink her teeth into, and is glad to be done paying her dues as the victim on a procedural.
