Mary Lynn Rajskub is an American actor and comedian.
She is best known for her role as Chloe O’Brien on the Fox series 24 (2001–2010), which she joined in 2003 at the start of the show’s third season. Her character was a hit with both viewers and critics, becoming one of the few cast members to return in the show’s fourth season. Rajskub went on to become a main cast member, and her character had the honor of saying the final words of the series in the season 8 series finale.
She has over 120 acting credits to her name, and has appeared in numerous films and television series including Sweet Home Alabama (2002), Punch-Drunk Love (2002), Little Miss Sunshine (2006), It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005–), and Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013–2021).
From July through October 2010, she performed in her solo show, Mary Lynn Spreads Her Legs, at the Steve Allen Theater in Los Angeles. Reviewer F. Kathleen Foley of the Los Angeles Times wrote: “That cheerfully vulgar title sums up the overall tone, which is often breezily obscene”.[1]
Rajskub met personal trainer Matthew Rolph when he approached her after one of her comedy sets. The two were married in 2009, in an impromptu wedding in Las Vegas.
In a 2012 interview with After Ellen Rajskub spoke about her bisexuality and past relationships.
I am bisexual and women are beautiful. I have had a lot of experiences with women. People don’t want to hear me philosophize, they want to know what my experience is.[2]
