Anna Faris might be unqualified to hostAnna Faris Is Unqualified, the relationship advice podcast she started last year.
But Faris isextremelyqualified for many things: Dark comedy, arthouse drama, spoof, romcom, sitcom.

In the mid-2000s, Faris had been struggling to get a lead role in a movie.
She looks back on the film with what you might call embarrassed pride.
We created that character together, we created the story together she says.
Im embarrassed of all my parts, she admits, almost laughing.
I couldnt get an audition for anything dramatic for a long time, she says.
I was sort of known as this comedy spoof person.
Ironically,Momhas given Faris some of her most dramatic material ever.
Playing a recovering addict struggling towards a law degree, Faris has shined.
One role that Faris doesnt look back on fondly: Her first one.
I got this really sy job, she says, before backtracking, It wasnt a sy job.
But it was: This horror movieLovers Lane.
Im a cheerleader who gets gutted!
