How Did Women Pilot Writers Fare For 2012? 
EXCLUSIVE: Alias alumna Merrin Dungey has landed a major recurring role on HBO 
comedy series Hung‘s upcoming second season. She will play Liz, a potential new love interest for Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane), a struggling suburban Detroit high-school basketball coach moonlighting as a male prostitute. Liz is one of his clients, a super successful corporate woman. Dungey, who also co-starred on CBS’ King of Queens and recently recurred on ABC’s Better Off Ted, is repped by Gersh and Industry.
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.

Her?
What’s with the hate? Dungey was absolutely hilarious on Better Off Ted. She’s great at comedy, and beautiful to boot. I don’t watch Hung, but I’m glad she’s found a great role.
Are you kidding? Merrin is fucking awesome. And her sister Channing is fucking awesome-er. Both smart, kind, and way better than you.
Congrats Merrin!
I love you even though you egged kris cassleman’s house in 89.
Yay Merrin!!!!! You are hot, sexy, and they are lucky to get you!!!!!!!
“girl” how is a beautiful and talentes actress like Merrin called girl. Wonder what the.issue is. Anyway she is brilliant and funny and you just wait and tune in.
She was a badass as “Evil-Francie” on “Alias” and terrifically funny as Stevie’s way-overprotective-helicopter mother on “Malcolm in the Middle”!
I don’t love “Hung”, but I will definitely check out her arc on the show.
What are you, kidding? She’s gorgeous! I haven’t watched other shows she’s been on, so I can’t speak to her acting chops, but she certainly looks like she fits the role described. Did I mention she’s gorgeous?
I’m stoked. She is a class act in every way, very funny, talented and will be a welcome addition to HUNG..So whatever your problems are (and I’m sure there’s a laundry list of them) ms “she is not cute,” DEAL WITH IT!
Merrin is awesome! GO MERRIN!!
She ratted Larry (water bottle) out in “Curb.”
Mrs Scanter…Mrs Scanter…You forgot to give us homework! Don’t bring any pens or pencils!
I don’t understand the racial remarks. Merrin is pretty, her features are distinctly African American, she doesn’t look like a ‘White Girl dipped in carmel.’ Her imdb is impressive, she works like a horse…
I suspect the previous poster is a black actress who lost her mind when Merrin beat her out for something. (White folks don’t use phrases like ‘white washed’) I would suggest that actress take a deep breath and ask herself why she needs to tear another person of her race down.
WAY TO GO MERRIN!! YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO DESERVE THIS!!
Good for her, Hung is a really good show!
She should thank her longtime friends and supporters, Amy Britt and Anya Colloff who are the casting directors on Hung. She has a bad habit of forgetting to do that.
Unless you are one of them, you don’t know what Merrin does and if you ARE one of them, some friend you are…
Nellie, I think you meant to say “coach” and not “couch” I presume? LOL!
In any case, this is AWESOME for Merrin. She is super talented and super nice. Good luck to her!
