From Northwest Asian Weekly:

Northwest native Joy Osmanski, who graduated from college with a degree in creative writing and studio art and began her acting career on a whim, has a supporting role on Twentieth Century Fox’s “The Loop,” a situation comedy that debuted on March 15.

The show, which first aired after “American Idol,” has a home on Fox Thursday evenings at 8:30.

“The Loop,” set in Chicago, follows the story of Sam, played by Bret Harrison, who is the youngest executive at the corporation headquarters of a major airline and the first of his friends to get a real job. Sam struggles to juggle his serious career and the social demands of his three roommates.

Osmanski plays Darcy, Sam’s overqualified and bitter secretary.

“She’s very bitter because she went to MIT and she’s working a grunt job,” Osmanski said. “I love my character.”

Osmanski, a Korean American, said when she was cast the writers began tailoring the part for her, seeking her input, and playing off aspects of her ethnicity.

Born in Seoul, she was adopted by Kathleen and Al Osmanski at seven months of age, and grew up in Olympia.
