“It’s the kind of thing where [series creator] Mitch Hurwitz will call us and be like, ‘Are you free next week? Great, we’ll fly you in,’” Greer, who plays rambunctious secretary Kitty Sanchez, jokes. “I don’t know anything yet. But it’s kind of like the best, most dysfunctional family — that’s how we are!”

“I wanted to see what it was like to be on the other side, and I learned so much,” Greer gushes. “I have a lot of newfound respect for independent filmmakers trying to break into the business. I feel like I got really lucky, which makes me appreciate all the movies that I’ve been in and how hard all those filmmakers worked to get those made.”
