Becki Newton steps Behind The Rope. Becki is here to talk about her decades long career starring in many of our favorite TV shows. Of course, that convo includes the ahead of its time Ugly Betty. Becki chats about what is was like working with the greats - Vanessa Williams, Judith Light, America Ferrera, the cultural significance of that show, the lifelong friendship she developed with co-star Michael Urie and the likelihood of a reboot today. Say whaat? Of course, we talk about her new role in Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer where she stars as one of the title character’s ex-wives alongside Neve Campbell who she has idolized since, well, Party of Five. The Lincoln Lawyer also reunited Becki with Ugly Betty co-star Christopher Gorham - long live Amanda and Henry! Becki chats meeting her husband, fellow actor Chris Diamantopoulos, in a New York City Subway, her role as a stripper on How I Met Your Mother alongside Neil Patrick Harris and just what is next for this ever busy actress who won’t be slowing down any time soon!
