It’s a very special cast, and I think everyone is so good in their parts. Connie Britton and Clark Gregg play my parents, Alia Shawkat plays my best friend.

And there are so many funny people in the movie –- Bill Hader, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Donald Glover, Andy Samberg. It was so fun for me to play this character that’s almost obnoxious and naïve and funny. So she kind of takes on this sexual homework over the summer, and because she’s very good at homework, she just blows through that list. Yeah, that movie, which I will still in parenthesis call “The Hand Job.” I play a type-A valedictorian who has sense of irony or sarcasm, and she basically through the advice of her slutty older sister –- played by Rachel Bilson, who’s hilarious in the movie –- decides to make a list of all the sexual acts she needs to accomplish before she goes to college, so she’s not under-prepared. You’ve described her as a Tracy Flick character. She’s a classic generational archetype, someone who was raised to believe the future was bright as long as you paid in advance, and then got there and found out all the doors were closed and the bills just kept coming.Your character in the upcoming “The To-Do List” sounds completely different.

Plaza’s keen intelligence is fully on display here, but she’s got nothing to turn it toward, and she’s so full of anger and self-hatred that she struggles to accept the few offers of help her former college classmates can offer. No wonder she ends up running credit card scams-and no wonder she’s so good at it.
The title makes us think we’re in for a story about an ordinary woman’s turn to the wrong side of the law, but when the movie begins, Emily’s already a felon, which makes it almost impossible for her to get a job that pays enough to keep on top of her loans, let alone afford her own apartment or build any kind of a life. Emily’s no action hero, though, just a woman in her 30s struggling to pay off student debt on a caterer’s salary. Plaza’s character in Emily the Criminal might once have been a sensitive soul, but by the time we catch up with her, she’s been hardened by the world-so much so that, upon catching a glimpse of the poster with Plaza’s toned biceps protruding from a sleeveless tank top, director Edgar Wright thought she’d been cast as the new Lara Croft.

The 40 Greatest Stand-Alone TV Episodes of All Time Craig Middlebrooks is a Parks and Recreation employee that ends up working in Leslies office after Pawnee absorbed Eagleton. Her reflexive cynicism was a defense mechanism, and sometimes an offensive weapon, as when her budding standup in Funny People mowed down the skepticism of older male comics with a quip about her “skinny vagina.” But not too far underneath it, and closer to the surface the older both she and her characters got, was an idealistic yearning for a better world, or at least a better life. But as Parks and Rec moved away from The Office’s cringe comedy, we started to see that there was more to April, and to Plaza, than her death-at-a-thousand-paces glare. Plaza initially became famous for her withering deadpan, the kind that could reduce the hopes of an idealist less determined than Leslie Knope to a smoldering ruin. (Think of her as the millennial John Cusack.) Parks and Recreation’s Ludgate and The White Lotus’ Harper aren’t the same person, but you can see how one might have become the other if their life had taken a different turn. It would be reductive to say that Plaza’s playing the same character in everything she does, but her best performances feel as if they spring from the same source.
