Janelle Marra is one of those actresses you likely recognize, but can’t quite place. But really, all you have to do is pick a popular primetime show and she’s probably been on it. Dragnet? She was Amy in 2003. Scrubs? Say hello to Sheila in 2004 and a nurse in 2005. There’s also the part of Eliza in The Shield in 2005; Phoenix in Charmed and Candice in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in 2006; Varsha in Dirt, Heather in ER, Marissa in Moonlight, and the recurring role of Greta the paramedic in Lincoln Heights in 2007; 2 Broke Girls and the regular role of Andersen in N.Y.P.D.M. in 2011; Yazmin in Southland, Gloria in Femme Fatales, and Claire in The Big Bang Theory in 2012; Valerie in Modern Family, a dancer in The Client List, and Katherine in Franklin & Bash in 2013; Rosa in Reckless in 2014; and Vicki in The Mentalist and a gold digger in Bones in 2015. Starting to get the idea maybe you’ve seen her before? And that’s just a partial list of her credits. Mr. Skin is going to back it all up though, to that mention of Gloria in Femme Fatales in 2012; it’s here where Janelle gets her engines revved and her naked on as a fellow female gives her a good licking—gotta love HBO! On the big screen, the Kern County, California, native has made appearances as woman #3 in Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie; playing Rajan in Abelar: Tales of an Ancient Empire (2010) with Kevin Sorbo, and as a diner waitress in Broken Vows (2016) with Wes Bentley and Jaimie Alexander. One more time—let’s hear it for HBO!
