Of course, anyone who's been following the career of Abigail Spencer would surely argue she's one of the more versatile actors in the game these days. And the diversity of roles displayed on her IMDb page might signal that A-list casting directors agree, as "Suits" and "Grey's Anatomy" are far from her only stints on primetime hits.

In fact, Spencer has logged time on some of the biggest shows on television over the past couple of decades, including early roles on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Gilmore Girls," and "Bones." The actor landed what's easily one of the biggest roles of her career in 2009, however, turning up in Season 3 of "Mad Men" as Suzanne Farrell, an idealistic teacher who briefly gets tangled up romantically with Don Draper (Jon Hamm). She followed that with a one-off turn on "Castle," a pair of "How I Met Your Mother" appearances, and six episodes of "True Detective" Season 2. 

Before landing that "True Detective" gig, Spencer also landed the fiery role of Amantha Holden on the grievously underrated drama "Rectify," playing the part for four full seasons. Of late, she's fronted NBC's sci-fi series "Timeless," Hulu's stylish crime drama "Reprisal," and ABC's short-lived Katey Sagal starrer "Rebel." On the big screen, Spencer has appeared in major films like John Favreau's "Cowboys and Aliens," the Reese Witherspoon rom-com "This Means War," Sam Raimi's "Oz the Great and Powerful," and the star-studded ensemble dramedy "This Is Where I Leave You."
