Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Gretchen Martin)
Okay so back to Lyndsey…her fiancé Larry had a sister Gretchen. Now, you probably remember her…she was dating Alan when he went by the alter-ego ‘Jeff Strongman.’ However, all his lies cause Gretchen to leave. Before the show, Kimberly had built quite a reputation in Hollywood. Her most well-known character was alongside Steve Martin in the Father of the Bride films. She also acted in According to Jim with Courtney Throne-Smith for eight years. Her recent film The Christmas Train came out in late 2017. If you couldn’t guess by her last name, she’s married to country star Brad Paisley, and they have two kids.

Season 11 was the only season in which Kimberly Williams-Paisley appeared on the show. She played Gretchen Martin, Larry Martin’s sister. She played one of Alan’s exes in the play. It didn’t come as much of a shock. Alan had no intention of telling Gretchen the truth about who he really was until her family found out, so their relationship was built on deceit. He said he was the owner of Charlie’s house but left out the fact that he still lived with his parents. When the truth was revealed, it was time for them to part ways. Basically, she labeled him a pathological liar.

Next up, we have Walden’s ex-wife who he begs to get back together with at first. Then once he is dating Zoey, she wants him back, but he asks for a divorce. Bridget then drives her car into his house in rage. Greer has stayed very busy in Hollywood, on and off the screen. Actually, she was the casting director for the Entourage film! In addition, she voiced for FX’s Archer.
Judy Greer (Bridget Schmidt)
Oh and no big deal, but she starred in Arrested Development as Kitty, Ingrid or ‘Fatty Magoo’ in It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Trixie in Californication alongside David Duchovny. But how could we forget her role as Jennifer Garner’s best friend in 13 Going on 30 as Lucy? Not to mention she’s starring in the latest Halloween remake.
