Octavia Spencer, last night's Best Supporting Actress winner, has more in common with Melissa Leo than Meryl Streep--she's been a working actress trying simply to get more work, not accolades, since her first role in A Time to Kill in 1996. Some of her roles have included Nurse Jane in Chicago Hope, Nurse in Roswell, Nurse Octavia in The X-Files, Baby Nurse in What Planet Are You From?, Nurse in Just Shoot Me!, Nurse Bernice in City of Angels, Admitting Nurse in Grounded for Life, Check-In Girl in Spider-Man, Security Guard in Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, Big Customer in Beauty Shop, Flight Attendant in LAX, Kate (Home Health Care Nurse) in Seven Pounds, and Octavia in The Big Bang Theory.
