Phyllis Smith, who plays Phyllis Vance on the show, became part of the cast in an unusual way. What is it?
Answer She already worked for the show.
When the series was being cast, Smith worked as a casting associate and read lines with auditioning actors. The director of the first episode, Ken Kwapis, liked her reading so much, he put her in the show.
