on a long-running hit TV show. You end up playing a defining role.
In a more recent interview with MySpace, Fischer commented on her desire to
focus on comedic roles:
I’m not sure I want to do a straight drama. I like finding the comedy in people
and situations and characters. But I am interested in doing something heavier. I’ve
been doing a lot of light comedy. I mean, there are so many different kinds of
comedy. Once I finish exploring all of that, maybe I’ll move to drama.
