Biografia

Wrote the autobiographical book, "I Don't Know What You Know Me From: My Life as a Co-Star" (Publication date:04/08/2014).

Was suggested by Andy Serkis to play the role of Cornelia in Apes Revolution - Il pianeta delle scimmie (2014). The two of them starred together in 30 anni in un secondo (2004).

Played the older sister to Bryce Dallas Howard in both The Village (2004) and Jurassic World (2015).

Plays three different characters in the television sitcom, Due uomini e mezzo (2003) - Aunt Myra, Bridget Schmidt and Danny (Bridget's look-a-like).

Paradiso amaro (2011), The TV Set (2006) and Miss Guided (2008) are her three favorite roles.

I really love this character I played called Becky Freeley in a TV show called Miss Guided (2008). We only shot seven episodes and nobody watched it and it was on for like a second but I really liked that character.

[on how to differentiate her "best-friend" roles] The difference is usually in the script. My character in 27 volte in bianco (2008) is snotty, lazy, stupid slutty and lame and that was really easy to do and I just tapped into that side of my personality. My character in 30 anni in un secondo (2004) - also best friend/co-worker - is self absorbed and has no soul and I've been to that part of me.

I'd been dating my husband for about a year and I'd already kissed George Clooney, Ashton Kutcher and Gerard Butler. Awesome year, right?

I would have played any character in an Alexander Payne movie. I was happy that this was a good one, and that for such a short amount of screen time, I got to do so much. It was so well-rounded and really had that great journey. That is so rare, and I would know because I play a lot of supporting characters. Well, I play all supporting characters!

I don't like to go into a job thinking how I can stand out, because when you do that - I think I've seen it in acting classes - when you try to steal focus, you just end up looking like an asshole.
