I remember her role as a social worker on the FOX sitcom Titus (the one based on Christopher Titus' messed-up life with a hard-assed father, a violent, mentally-ill mom, a pot smoking brother, a girlfriend with a worse dysfunctional family than his, and a wussy friend. It was based on Titus' real life, with some changes done for legal and dramatic reasons) for two episodes: one where Titus and company try to celebrate Erin's niece's birthday, only to find out that she lives in a trashy apartment with her stoned mom and her abusive alcoholic stepfather and another where Erin and Titus invite the social worker over to show that they'll be good parents to Amy, but Titus' mentally deranged mom comes over and tries to tell Titus that she needs to forgive him.

Reading some of these comments made me realize how many roles she’s had that I never quite noticed. I can’t remember the first time I saw her in something but I must’ve been really young and for some reason I associated her with being mean, so I didn’t like her for years. I couldn’t have been more wrong and I absolutely regret it now because I have so much love and respect for her and her talent. She’s such an amazing actress and seems so genuine and lovely ❤️

@sarcasmallover8999 4 года назад

I remember first seeing her in the show Ugly Betty, she had a small arc but she stuck out so much because of the balance she struck with the character. In a campy show with her in a ridiculous situation she still managed to make you feel like it was a real person and you had empathy for her. Such a great talent.

@sign543 4 года назад

She’s one of those actors who can play almost any emotion, and you’ll believe it. When she’s tough or nasty...I would never want to be on her bad side...but when she’s compassionate, you feel she would be the most loyal and biggest defender of you. She dissolves into any role she takes.

But I know they can’t go over every single smaller role she’s had but still. Love her lol.
