Mary Lynn Rajskub

“I had fun doing a lot of low-budget movies and web series. And I got back into stand-up where I started.”

“The really cool challenge of '24' was learning on camera how to be a dramatic actress. The biggest difficulty was the industry side of things. I was very lucky that I had Joel Surnow, one of the creators of '24,' in my corner. Early on, the Fox executives couldn't believe that I was on the show.”

“My stand-up has always been very character-based. I'm not really the kind of person that's like, 'Hey, here's what's on my mind! Tip your waitress!' I would create the jokes based on the character I was playing. It was always a performance-based thing for me.”

“Chloe is really just like an exaggerated aspect of myself.”

“I always love performing live, and that's what I was doing that started getting me acting parts, so I still find time do it.”
