With a quiet exterior and a unique array of facial expressions that hint at something hilarious simmering underneath the ostensibly, actress/comedian Mary Lynn Rajskub has come a long way since joining the cast of Mr. Show endorse in 1995. A Detroit aboriginal whose admission into the comedy scene wasn't entirely intentional, the ancient execution artist irrefutable to test her hand at humor when a non-comedic bringing off at the San Francisco Art Institute elicited unexpected laughs f... rom the audience.

Subsequently realizing the foolishness inherent in overly earnest exhibition dexterity, Rajskub done adjusted her carry on to happen to a parody of performance craftsmanship. The sui generis take on survive comedy quickly caught on with audiences, and shortly thereafter, Rajskub was approached by Bob Odenkirk and David Cross and asked to touch the cast of their upcoming HBO stream-of-consciousness comedy series Mr. Swagger. A somewhat unkind falling evasion with series co-creator Surly found Rajskub departing from the series after a year to suppose a responsibility at Seattle's Kindest Coffee, but her career as a caffeine affairs would quickly rise to an tip when Garry Shandling caught wind of her act.

Afterward cast as the zealous but somewhat maladroit power booker on The Larry Sanders Show, Rajskub also began to twig out into feature territory with supporting roles in such films as Plunge Me in Kern County and the mockumentary The Thin Pink Racket (both 1998). Flash-and-you'll-miss-her roles in such high-profile releases as Man on the Moon and Road Trip were quick to engage in, with a small but memorable turn as a bubble-wrapped cult member in Dude, Where's My Auto? preceding that another fleeting manner in the "Fiction" segment of director Todd Solondz's Storytelling. Away this spur, Rajskub had expanded her presence on video receiver with a recurring lines in Veronica's Closet, and after appearing with Girls Guitar Beat bandmate Karen Kilgariff in the notwithstanding drama The Anniversary Party, she made a move back to the small screen with the seedy-fated sketch comedy series The Downer Channel. If that series didn't last long, Rajskub didn't need to worry since appearances in such features as Punch-Drunk Love, Sweet-sounding Harshly Alabama, and Legally Blonde 2 inaugurate her slowly drifting toward more massive roles on the silver screen.

After becoming a frequent trouper in the 2003-2004 available of the wildly popular television series 24, Rajskub took an unpromising loop with her role as Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme in the 2004 made-for-television remake Helter Skelter.
