 When asked what originally drew her to the role of Terri in an interview with <unk> , 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 .
