In the "Legally Blonde" sequel, King appears as Grace Rossiter, the jaded chief of staff to a congressman who's going up against Elle on the matter of animal testing. As Elle lobbies for a bill to ban animal testing, she soon discovers that Washington is full of betrayals and people who will say one thing and do another. In time, though, she comes to find a few kindred minds who admire her hard work and optimism — Grace, surprisingly, included.
