Jenny Slate plays Russ and Lina's friend Jess on FX's new half hour comedy Married. The actress recently talked to the media about her work on the show.
Slate talked to SciFi Vision about how she became involved in the series. "I got involved in the traditional way. My agent called me and said, "There's this project coming up at FX, and it seems like the kind of thing you would be interested in." Really, I heard the premise; I got the script. I read it, and thought, yes, this seems different for me. This seems like the kind of story, and the kind of character, that could actually go a bit deeper than some of my television work so far. I really loved all the jobs I've done, but I think it's good to always do something different, and I love the cast. I think Judy [Greer] and Nat [Faxon] had already been cast, and I was huge fans of both of them, so I just went in and auditioned. Very traditional."
