Our first short was 'Angry Boy,' which was produced through the Fox Movie Channel.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We were the laughingstock of that first season... It was with great relish several years later that I received a TV Guide award for favorite actress on television.
I remember rehearsing it, and it was the one that we were really excited about and thought would sound the best, and once it was down on tape, it was like, This doesn't actually sound that good.
When 'Family Guy' started, we wanted to make it more like a sitcom. And there was very little music.
I watched '12 Angry Men' when I was a kid. It blew me away definitely.
I managed to get a short film with Channel 4 Films. I cast a young actor who'd done a bit of television before, a young actor called Ewan McGregor. That was very first thing. This writer had won this competition, and I made this little short, black and white movie. I think for both Ewan and I it was the start of our careers.
My earliest acting memory is making up a play for my mom and dad called The Lonesome Baby. I have no idea what The Lonesome Baby was about. I just remember the title. But I'm sure it was an epic.
'Mad Men' was one of the first shows where Netflix was the first syndication window.
My first series, I wouldn't even know where to get a clip of it. It was called 'Cracking Up.' It was on 'FOX' in 2004.
'Mad Men' was really my first television role, and it never feels like TV to me. It's done at such a high level.
A little acting debut in Spin City, with Michael J. Fox, which opened up a whole new door for me.
