An American actress who built two very different careers on comic timing: seven seasons as a struggling waitress-turned-baker opposite Beth Behrens in CBS's 2 Broke Girls, and, in parallel, Darcy Lewis, the deadpan intern who keeps stumbling into Norse gods in the Marvel Cinematic Universe starting with Thor. She began acting as a child in 2000 and worked steadily through indie comedies like Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist before either franchise made her widely recognizable.
