Judy Greer

With a lithe frame and attractively exaggerated features, Greer has contorted her looks and personality to fit a variety of roles, from wallflowers ( Jawbreaker ) to vixens ( Three Kings ) and bitches ( 13 Going on 30 ) to ditzes ( The Wedding Planner ). After studying ballet growing up, Greer switched to acting in college and began landing film and TV roles soon after graduation. A natural comedian, she initially made her mark in funny features, but proved adept at the occasional serious role as… Show more well, such as M. Night Shyamalan's  The Village . Alternating between small turns in A-list films---including a memorable appearance as a stuck-up waitress in Adaptation ---and bigger parts in indies like  The Hebrew Hammer, Greer was amazingly prolific, and still managed to squeeze in recurring roles on the cult sitcom Arrested Development and the short-lived dramedy Love Monkey . In 2008, Greer landed her own series, Miss Guided, in which she played a former high school geek who returns to her alma mater as a guidance counselor. Despite critical acclaim, that sitcom last only a few episodes, but Greer has stayed visible on TV with guest-starring roles on a variety of prime-time series, including ER,  House and Modern Family . ~ Rovi
