Mary Lynn Rajskub has carved out a niche for herself as a versatile and dynamic force in the world of acting, writing, and comedy. Widely recognized for her fan-favorite role as the computer genius Chloe O’Brian on FOX's acclaimed series "24," she became a key player in a show that won a 2006 Emmy for Best Drama and earned nominations for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2005 and 2006. Her journey into the performing arts initially took a different path; Mary Lynn went to art school with a focus on painting. However, she soon discovered her passion for the performing arts. After performing her first one-woman show, critics noted her unique talent, describing her act as "one of the strangest and funniest performances I have ever seen." This experience set her on a course to refine her comedic and dramatic acting skills. Upon relocating to Los Angeles, Mary Lynn quickly made a name for herself, landing a spot on the critically acclaimed HBO sketch comedy series "Mr. Show with Bob and David," created by David Cross and Bob Odenkirk. She also appeared on HBO's "The Larry Sanders Show," further cementing her status as a versatile performer. In addition to her iconic role on "24," Mary Lynn's television repertoire includes notable appearances on "It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia," "Flight of the Conchords," "Raising Hope," and "Modern Family." Her film credits are equally impressive, featuring roles in mainstream hits such as "Julie & Julia" alongside Meryl Streep and Amy Adams, "Firewall" with Harrison Ford, "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde," "Sweet Home Alabama," "Dude, Where’s My Car," and "Roadtrip." She also made her mark in the indie film circuit with performances in "Sunshine Cleaning," alongside Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, the Academy Award-winning "Little Miss Sunshine," and "Punch-Drunk Love" starring Adam Sandler. She appeared in "Safety Not Guaranteed," which premiered at Sundance. Recently, Mary Lynn has been making a triumphant return to her stand-up comedy roots, where she has maintained a loyal cult following. Balancing her dynamic career in entertainment, she resides in Los Angeles with her husband and their son, embracing both family life and her passion for performance art.
