Tully’s character is ambitious in nature with more complexity which allowed Katherine to prove her acting abilities. Throughout the series, Tully is portrayed as a cheery and confident person but more layers to her characters where she fought for her position in her career while making life choices involving her friendship with Kate. Katherine’s role in Firefly Lane has definitely helped her to set on the path of becoming an established mainstream star.

The Knocked-up actress played the role of Izzie Stevens in the hit medical drama Grey’s Anatomy where she left the show in its sixth season. Izzie Stevens was introduced to the audience as a surgical intern who became a resident by the sixth season. Katherine’s character in the series mainly focused on her relationship with her colleagues.
