An attractive television actress adept at playing professional characters who hide their messy personal lives, Britton came to prominence as an office accountant on
Spin City after making a big-screen splash in Edward Burns' 1995 dramedy
The Brothers McMullen. Although she worked with the film director two more times (
Looking for Kitty,
No Looking Back), the small screen remained her primary medium. And while not all her series have been hits — neither
Lost at Home nor
The Fighting Fitzgeralds, penned and produced by Burns, lasted an entire season — memorable recurring roles on
The West Wing and
24 have kept her in the public eye.
