With her memorable performance as tough but sympathetic rebel teen Kim Kelly in the critically praised series "Freaks and Geeks," from Judd Apatow and Paul Feig, Busy Philipps crafted one of the most compelling young characters in contemporary television. Busy Philipps went on to play roles in such features as "Anatomy of a Hate Crime," "The Smokers" and "Home Room." After roles on "Dawson's Creek" and "Undeclared," in 2004 Busy Philipps took a lead in the Shawn and Marlon Wayans comedy, "White Chicks." In 2006 Busy Philipps starred in the UPN sitcom "Love, Inc.," from "Friends" showrunner Adam Chase. Next, Busy Philipps joined the cast of "ER" for one season as the devout Christian med-student, Hope Bobeck.

Busy Philipps was married to screenwriter Marc Silverstein ("Never Been Kissed," "He's Just Not That Into You") in June 2007 in a surprise ceremony.
