FBI Special Agent Emma Hollis is a fictional character from the American crime-thriller television series Millennium.
Hollis, introduced in the series' third and final season, is a young special agent within the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Hollis is a young Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent who becomes a protégée to offender profiler Frank Black (Lance Henriksen) when he begins working in Virginia.
[3] Hollis also has to deal with her father's bout with an Alzheimer's-like illness, which has possibly been induced by the Millennium Group—a secretive organisation to which Black had previously belonged, and which he now believes to be responsible for bioterrorism.
[5] The respected, independent, ambitious young Bureau Agent formed a close relationship with Frank Black—and then turned her back on him to join the Millennium Group, which had agreed to cure her father of Alzheimer's.
[6] Regarding Hollis, producer Michael Duggan said "she's not a rookie ... but she's young enough to be in awe of Frank Black's rep as a legendary crime solver".
Scott won the role, but producer Chip Johannessen recalled that "she wasn't what the network were looking, they wanted Heather Locklear or something to come.
Entertainment Weekly writer Ken Tucker said Scott's presence as Hollis was "bracing", finding that she "captures perfectly the way young adepts try to soak up everything about their heroes";[9] while Raymond Edel of The Record described the character as a "quick-witted extrovert".
