That Girl

While catching up on Californication recently, I was pleased to see Judy Greer make an appearance. She’s one of those actresses that you’ve seen in small roles in a lot of things and can’t help but like.

Her most notable role for me is Kitty on Arrested Development, a show that was too smart for the vast majority of the American viewing public. Shame on you, nation. Shame on you.

(And now, a moment of silence for Arrested Development.)

(Thank you.)

Greer was apparently also in The Village, which I don’t recall at all. Then again, I watched most of The Village through my fingers. M. Night Shyamalan’s movies and I don’t get along terribly well. I go to see them and they return the favor by scaring the crap out of me.

Despite my admiration, I didn’t watch Miss Guided, her foray into a lead role. For one, I watch WAY too much tv already. For two, I think she might be one of those people who’s better in a secondary role. As someone for the lead to bounce stuff (not literally) off of. If not the comic relief, then at least a capable verbal sparring partner.

I think I join weird girls everywhere in celebrating one of our own who’s made good. We’d have a party…but we’re all too busy watching tv.
