Last year she starred in the CBS comedy series “The Class” created by David Crane and Jeffery Klarik, and in addition to critical acclaim was named as one of the “10 Actors to Watch” by Daily Variety, “So Five Minutes From Now” by Entertainment Weekly; and the Fresh Face of Fall by TV’s “The Insider.” Prior to “The Class,” Caplan starred in Marta Kaufman’s WB series “Related,” Fox’s “Tru Calling” and “Undeclared,” and NBC’s “Freaks and Geeks.”
