Courtesy of FXX; Comedy Central; HBOThis week, actress Anna Camp became fam when she made headlines for coming out as having a girlfriend, but she’s been a gay fave for years before that.
Most people likely remember Camp for her starring role in the Pitch Perfectmovies or her roles on shows like The Mindy Project, but she been a working actor for close to 20 years, and in that time she has managed to wow audiences over and over again, no matter how big or small the role is.
So let’s check out the most under-the-radar scene-stealing moments of her career!
You
Anna Camp in You.
Netflix
You just released it’s fifth season and Camp has a starring role where she is playing twin sisters opposite Penn Badgley’s Joe Goldberg. Camp is always a scene-stealing talent, but here she’s performing double duty as the cruel Reagan and ditsy Maddie. People may have tuned in for Badgley’s performance, but it was Camp that everyone was talking about the next day.
True Blood

HBO
Camp really shines in True Blood where she played the villainous Sarah Newlin, a televangelist whose husband runs the cult-like anti-vampire religious group Fellowship of the Sun. She was in 24 episodes and her prissy, angry, ladder-climber always steals the show.
How I Met Your Mother
How I Met Your Mother.
CBS
On an episode of the long-running sitcom where main characters Barney and Robin are getting married, Camp plays Ted’s date Cassie. Cassie is an emotional wreck, having just lost her boyfriend and job so the date quickly turns awkward as she mourns her loses and looses her sanity. Camp is fantastic and manages to steal every scene she’s in.
Glee

Camp played Candace Dystra, a singing competition judge in an episode of Glee season 1, who says one of the most inappropriate things ever. “Okay, I'm just gonna come out and say it,” she said. “This is a singing competition. I don't know how those deaf kids got in. They weren't singing; they were, like, honking and everyone was crying and I was, like, 'Get off the stage. You're terrible and you're making me super uncomfortable.’” A big yikes, but Camp is perfect in the role.
The Office

Netflix
Camp played Pam Beesly’s sister Penny on the two episodes of The Office where Pam and Jim get married in Niagara Falls. It’s a memorable moment already, but Camp mistaking Kevin for Oscar’s boyfriend Gil once again shows off her comedy chops. Plus, she ends up being a good sister who checks in with Pam about the silly dance everyone does down the aisle before she joins in on the fun.
Key & Peele
Camp was on an episode of sketch comedy show Key & Peele, where was in an ‘80s action movie spoof called Strike Force Eagle 3: The Reckoning. Camp plays a damsel in distress who is being held hostage by Jordan Peele’s villain mustache-twirling character. She’s only in the sketch for a couple minutes at the very end, but the way she acted the lead up to the kiss with Keegan-Michael Key’s Steven Seagal-inspired action hero is too funny and a spot on spoof.
The League

Camp made a guest appearance on a wacky episode of The League where main character Andre got a cat named M’Lady who he took to a pet groomer played by Camp. Her zany character specializing in giving cats “catitude” and ends up shaving the cat and tattooing her body and dressing her in scarfs and a pink fedora. It’s hilarious and Camp is memorable even opposite all of the amazing comedians on the show.
