Parker Posey
Labelled the "Indie Queen", Parker Posey has performed in nearly fifty mostly independently-produced films since her first screen credits in 1993. In 1997, she won acclaim - including a special recognition award at the Sundance Festival - for her performance in The House of Yes, which also featured Freddie Prinze, Jr. She has also appeared in several of Christopher Guest's famous mockumentaries, including Waiting for Guffman (1996), Best in Show (2000), A Mighty Wind (2003), and For Your Consideration (2006) - each of which features several other Boston Legal guest stars.

On television, Posey first made a name for herself on daytime drama As the World Turns (1991-2) and later was nominated for a Golden Globe award - along with Shirley MacLaine - for Hell on Heels: The Battle of Mary Kay (2002). Often cast in antagonistic roles, Posey played one of villain Lex Luthor's sidekicks in the 2006 film Superman Returns.
