Though Chlumsky appeared and starred in several television films and series in the mid to late 1990s, she took an acting hiatus to attend college at University of Chicago, where she graduated in 2002 a BA in International Studies. After working as a fact-checker and editorial assistant, Chlumsky decided she missed acting, and she went to the Atlantic Acting School in New York City to receive the formal training she'd never actually received before playing Vada.
Since then, Chlumsky — now 37 — has had roles in independent films, including Blood Car and In the Loop, and since 2012, she has portrayed Amy Brookheimer on the HBO series Veep, for which she has received five Emmy nominations for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series. Chlumsky has also brought her talent to Broadway, appearing in the plays You Can't Take It with You and Living on Love. She and her husband Shaun So, whom she met in college, have been married since 2008 and have two daughters together.
