[The actress is going for a change of pace next. She's about to guest-star on five episodes of Fox's sitcom Arrested Development .] I am a huge fan of the show, and I'm very picky with my comedy, ... I don't get to do comedy very often, and when they asked me, I jumped at the opportunity. I was ready to do something for fun. |
