Why You Recognize The Actor Who Plays Annie In Friends With Benefits

Jenna Elfman has been making viewers laugh since her television debut in 1992, per IMDb. With stints on Townies, Dharma & Greg, Courting Alex, Accidentally On Purpose, Matumbo Goldberg, and Damages, Elfman has been a fixture in the TV landscape for decades. Yet her career has been plagued with cancellations after one season, much like 1600 Penn, Growing Up Fisher, and Imaginary Mary, leading audiences to wonder why Elfman hasn't been cast in many films as of late

Aside from Friends With Benefits in 2011, Elfman starred in Grosse Pointe Blank, Keeping the Faith, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, and Big Stone Gap. In 2016, she landed a role on Netflix's Barry, and by 2018, Elfman joined the cast of Fear the Walking Dead. Elfman also is a podcast host opposite husband Bodhi Elfman. 

The Golden Globe winner's personal life has also made headlines. In March 2020, Elfman defended Scientology, calling the surrounding controversy of the religion "boring," per Us Weekly. "I know what I know, and how much it helps me." Although the faith may have helped her spiritually, her career has been a rollercoaster over the last three decades. Hopefully, she'll get back in the rom-com genre 10 years after Friends With Benefits!
