A passionate small-screen player who often collaborates with her husband, actor-director-producer Ken Olin, Wettig appeared in a number of '80s series before landing her signature role as a cancer-stricken wife and mother on the seminal yuppie drama
thirtysomething
. During the show's four-year run, Wettig won a Golden Globe and three Emmys, acted alongside her husband (although they didn't play on-screen spouses) and made her film debut as an unstable movie star in
Guilty by Suspicion
. As Olin transitioned from actor to TV writer-director, he helped his wife snag recurring roles in a number of series (
L.A. Doctors
,
Breaking News
,
Alias
) but she enjoyed her highest-profile part in years on a show he had nothing to do with:
Prison Break
, as the manipulative vice president of the United States. Taking a cue from Olin, she also pursued other artistic avenues besides acting, getting an MFA in playwriting and earning kudos for penning
My Andy
. In 2006, she took a hiatus from
Prison Break
in order to appear in the dramedy
Brothers & Sisters
, which was produced by Olin.
