 A squeaky-voiced, diminutive attractive blonde player, Leslie Mann landed the role of Nurse Mary on the short-lived medical drama "Birdland" (ABC, 1994). She made her screen debut in the 1996 independent feature "Things I Never Told You" before landing the high profile female lead in Ben Stiller's comic thriller "The Cable Guy" (also 1996), opposite Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick, and she would later go on to marry the film's screenwriter, Judd Apatow. Mann also played a lesbian in Edward Burns' "She's the One" and appeared as a prostitute opposite Bruce Willis in "Last Man Standing" (both 1996).
In 1997, she starred as the damsel-in-distress Ursula in the genial family comedy "George of the Jungle". After taking time out for motherhood, the actress resumed her career with a sexy turn as a well-endowed waitress in the Adam Sandler comedy "Big Daddy" (1999). She would go on to turns in writer-director Mike Figgis' experimental film "Timecode" (2000), director Jake Kasdan's comedy "Orange County" (2002) and as Jason Lee's fiance who inexplicably weeps during sex in the comedy "Stealing Harvard" (2002). The actress then gave the best demonstration of her considerable comedic skills yet in a scene-stealing appearance as Nicky, the drunken bar pick-up who takes Steve Carell's sexually inexperienced character on a white-knuckled ride home in the hit comedy "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" (2005), written and directed by her husband, Apatow. source movies.yahoo.com Knocked Up (2007) (pre-production)
