She made two major guest appearances in 2012. She appeared in the eighth episode of the fifth season of ‘TNT’s drama series ‘Leverage,’ titled ‘The Broken Wing Job,’ as ‘Amy Pavali.’ The same year, she was cast as a ‘Harvard’ law graduate in the first episode of ‘USA Network’s popular legal drama ‘Suits.’ Mann made her first appearance in the 11th episode of the second season of the series, named ‘Blind-Sided.’
Between 2013 and 2017, Mann was seen playing short-lived but diverse roles in the comedy series ‘Wendell & Vinnie’ (2013), the political thriller ‘Scandal’ (2013), the military drama ‘NCIS: New Orleans’ (2015), and ‘ABC’s phenomenal medical drama ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ (2017).
She has also narrated the audiobook of writer Kaavya Viswanathan‘s debut novel, ‘How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life.’
Major Works
Mann has mostly been cast in minor roles throughout her career but has always managed to earn guest appearances in some of the biggest hits of the TV world. Needless to say, ‘The Big Bang Theory’ is the highlight of her acting career, in which she had a recurring role that lasted over two seasons. Anybody who has been a fan of the show knows that her character was quite relevant to the storyline for those two seasons.

The couple has a daughter named Nikita, and the family presently lives in Los Angeles.
