Her small screen resume includes screen Time Of Your Life (1999-2000), Alias (2001-2006), Camping (2018), and now Party Down.
The sitcom, which follows a group of caterers in Los Angeles as they strive to make it in Hollywood, originally premiered on Starz in the U.S. on March 20, 2009.
While the show got good reviews from critics, it didn’t translate to high ratings, and thus the show got canceled after the second season, which last aired in June 2010.
It’s believed the departure of stars Adam Scott, to Parks and Recreation, and Jane Lynch, to Glee, played a role in the decision to end the series.
