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.

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.

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