Maria Thayer's comedic talents have shown up on the small screen too, and the actress has popped up in numerous popular sitcoms over the years, including "New Girl," "The League," "Brooklyn 99," "Portlandia," "A.P. Bio," and "The Mindy Project." However, many TV comedy lovers know the actress best from her work on NBC's workplace comedy "Superstore."
Thayer appears in four episodes of the show's sixth and final season as Hannah, a beautiful and accomplished lawyer representing Carol (Irene White), who is suing Cloud 9 for a workplace injury. Hannah goes on to have a brief romance with Jonah (Ben Feldman), until Jonah reunites with ex-flame Amy (America Ferrera) in the series finale.
Maria Thayer has been entertaining TV and film audiences for over 20 years. "State of Play" could not be any more different from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," and it's a testament to her range as an actor. Even if you've never seen her before, you'll probably recognize her face as she picks up more steam in film and TV roles.
