 When asked what originally drew her to the role of Terri in an interview with TheTVChick, Gilsig said: "Well, first of all, Ryan Murphy. Because I had worked with him on Nip / Tuck. And that was one of the best experiences as an actor I ’ ve ever had in my career. He really challenges you as an actor, and he really pushes you, and he really puts a lot of faith in actors to be able to — I think go further than they ’ ve ever gone before. Certainly for me on Nip / Tuck. You know, for obvious reasons … things I never thought I ’ d do. (laughs) But also just emotionally and character-wise and comedically. Every script was just this amazing emotional gymnastics. So that first of all: I was like great, I ’ d love to work with Ryan. And for me, the opportunity to do a comedy is something that I ’ ve been itching to do for many years now and also if I was going to do that – which is kind of a big risk for me – to be able to do that with Ryan, who I know so well, and then so much of the crew that I was familiar with from Nip / Tuck was kind of a dream scenario I would say."
