Bree Turner is the new "best friend"

From MovieLine:
So what makes a good romantic comedy best friend?
I’ve done a couple of them, and I think they’re really fun. [The Ugly Truth] is a little unique: It hits all the points that you have to hit in a romantic comedy, but because it’s an R-rated film, there’s some raunchy humor. It’s definitely adult, for sure, and the movie doesn’t treat the audience like children. But I think with these [best friend] roles, I enjoy them because I like supporting the main character. You have a lot more freedom when you’re the sidekick — you can bring a lot more of your own flavor to the role, and you can get away with a lot more. Like dry-humping the air, for example! [Laughs]
You started out as a dancer — and you’ve got some company in that career arc. What made you want to go into acting?
I think what really clicked for me was when I started booking commercials as a dancer…just being on set and seeing every element of production, it was magic to me. When I really thought about it, I was always really obsessed with movies since I was little. It just clicked that it was the next step for me; choreographing didn’t interest me, and opening a studio wasn’t a passion for me. I didn’t know if I’d be very good at acting, but then my first scene in acting class…[inhales sharply] I just loved it. It was the natural next step.
