Mary Lynn Rajskub (prounounced "RICE-cub" or in IPA: ['raɪskʌb]) (born June 22, 1971) is an American comedic actress from Trenton, Michigan.

She was one of the original cast members of Mr. Show, and also had roles on The Larry Sanders Show and Veronica's Closet.

Recently she has ventured into more dramatic roles, most notably her role as CTU tech analyst Chloe O'Brian on 24, which she joined in 2003 at the start of the show's third season.

Her character was a hit with viewers and critics and was one of the few cast members to return in the show's fourth season. After being a regular guest star for one season, Rajskub became a main cast member in the show's fourth season and has continued into the fifth season, which started in January 2006.
