You may not know Krysten Ritter’s name, but you definitely know her face — especially if you’re a 14-year-old girl. Her unique look and comic timing make her the ultimate scene stealer in just about every show she guest stars on. After playing pivotal characters on Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls, Ritter is now taking on the role of Brad Garrett and Joely Fisher’s daughter on the Fox sitcom, ‘Til Death. We caught up with her while she was on break in New York.
It seems like every time we turn on the TV, there you are. This week you're guest-starring on 'Til Death as the daughter of Brad Garrett and Joely Fisher. What was it like on the set?
Everyone in the cast made me feel so welcome. [Brad] is hysterical. All day long he's doing standup. It doesn't stop. It's like [I'm] not working.
Any advice from your costars?
I got some industry advice from Joely Fisher — some good business stuff that I probably shouldn't repeat — you know, how to deal with my agent and how to basically not get screwed over (laughter).
Many of your fans discovered you on Veronica Mars. What was it like working on such an amazing show, with such a smart cast?
I love that show, and I liked it before I started working on it. It was so exciting — not only because it was wonderful to have an acting job, but because it's a mystery there are a lot of interesting conversations going on in between takes. Everyone's always trying to figure out, "Oh, who's the killer?" The cast doesn't know what's going on, either. It's not just the actors — it's the transport people, the crew. Everybody is just constantly trying to figure out who did what.
