Judy Greer is one of the few actors to play multiple characters in “Two and a Half Men.” Though she appeared in Season 4 as Myra Melnick, a one-night stand for Charlie, Greer took a more prominent place on the cast from Season 9 onward as Bridget, Walden’s femme fatale ex-wife.
Before, during, and after her two stints on “Two and a Half Men,” Greer appeared in a long list of other notable television series including “Arrested Development,” “Archer,” “Family Guy,” “Reboot,” and “White House Plumbers.” She also boasts a significant film career with parts in hit films like “Jurassic World,” the “Ant-Man” movies, and David Gordon Green’s modern “Halloween” trilogy.
While her credits are impressive, in a 2023 interview with Today, Greer expressed that she frequently feels like she hasn’t been able to realize her true potential. “While I am a supporting actor, often I feel like all the roles I play, like, it seems like maybe I’m always the best friend, but then if you love ‘Archer,’ then you think of me as a voice-over actor,” lamented Greer. “And if you love movies, you might think of me as this other type of character.” Perhaps one of these days, Greer will find some long overdue starring role satisfaction.
