Aside from Joe Morton, Beth Grant is another actor you’ve probably seen in a variety of projects, possibly even more than Joe Morton.

In addition to her TV work, Grant has also appeared in various indie films and blockbuster movies such as “Safe,” “A Time to Kill,” “Dr. Dolittle,” “Donnie Darko,” “Pearl Harbor,” “Matchstick Men,” “Little Miss Sunshine,” “Flags of Our Fathers,” “No Country for Old Men,” “Crazy Heart,” “The Artist,” “Jackie,” and “Amsterdam.”
“Turn on your TV at night, one of the movie channels,” actor Ike Barinholtz from “The Mindy Project” mentioned in a 2013 interview with the Wilmington Star-News, “and count how many minutes until Beth Grant appears in one of those movies.”
Grant is also the mother of actress Mary Chieffo, whom she shares with her husband since 1985, actor Michael Chieffo (who you may also have seen in various projects!).
