She first rose to fame as the lovable Robin Scherbatsky on the wildly popular TV series How I Met Your Mother, a role that truly put her on the map. Over the years, she continued to build an impressive career, and in 2014, she stepped into the Marvel universe with a strong presence as Agent Maria Hill in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Before all the spotlight, though, her journey began in front of the camera as a model. While she started there, she quickly realized it wasn’t her passion and soon shifted her focus to acting—something she genuinely loved. Her personal life has been just as meaningful; she tied the knot with Taran Killam in 2012, after already welcoming their first daughter, Shaelyn Cado Killam, back in 2009. The couple expanded their family again in 2015 with the arrival of their second daughter. Through every chapter, she’s remained grounded, balancing her thriving career and family life with grace.
She appeared as Maria Hill in several episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., bringing her strong presence to the role. Later on, she took on the character of Lisa Turner in the 2017 series Friends from College. She really made an impact with each performance, showcasing her range across different genres. Her portrayal of Maria Hill stood out, and then she smoothly transitioned into a more comedic, relatable role as Lisa Turner. She continues to impress audiences with her versatility and depth as an actress.
