Who is this actress.

Okay this has been driving me nuts. I caught the promo clip for NBCs the Irrationals. I know I recognize the actress who plays the female character who says she wants Jesse L Martin's character to solve her "murder." For the life of me though I can't remember her name or what I have seen her in. I checked IMDB and other sites that have cast lists, but the lists are incomplete, and she's not listed. She's only in the very first few seconds of the clip. Can anyone solve this mystery for me? I hate when I can't remember things. I used to be an entertainment trivia Ace, but no longer since I had my bout with viral meningitis in 2015.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16288838/?ref_=ext_shr

It is her. The Irrationals does show up in her personal credits. Looking at her filmography she was in a number of my past favorite shows.

I recognized her from an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond as one of the moms of his daughter's friends. Looked up the episode and she was listed and then had that show listed under her credits!

the prime cookie-selling spot to her character, and later has to be rescued by Deb, was epic. She was maybe in four episodes, but she left an indelible mark on the show.

Where she slaps Ray's butt after he helps set up the tent in her living room. You're right, definitely stood out for a non-major character.

Bosch, but it turns out looking at her filmography that she was in a lot of shows I used to watch like E.R., Crossing Jordan, and Law and Order. I think it must have been the Law and Order appearances that niggles at my memory because I have seen most of the episodes with Jerry Orbach and Sam Waterson many many times. I loved their characters Lenny Brisco and Jack MCcoy, a lot

And you're right, when I tried to find out none of the sites had her listed. Thanks for answering it for me too.
