Instantly recognizable by her tall stature, signature voice, and impeccable comedic timing, Jane Lynch’s career credits read longer than a CVS receipt, taking part in some of TV and film's best-loved pieces. Born and raised in Illinois, she would eventually move on to Chicago and work for over a decade with the Steppenwolf Theatre Company and, at the time of her audition, was one of only two women picked to join The Second City comedy troupe. Her on-screen career started in 1988 with a small role in Vice Versa starring Fred Savage, and after a string of commercials in the ’90s would be handpicked by her Frosted Flakes director, Christopher Guest, to appear in the truly hilarious film, Best in Show. She would become a regular with the Christopher Guest troupe, also appearing in A Mighty Wind and For Your Consideration, quickly becoming an audience and critic favorite.
