Career

Television

Traylor appeared as Dr. Heller’s Office Temp in the episode “Madame Ex” in “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” in 1994.

From 1996 to April 1997 she played Joy Byrnes in the NBC sitcom “Boston Common”, one of the main characters on the show alongside Alfred Molina, and considered her breakthrough role, as it brought her to the attention of other mainstream networks. Traylor appeared in 32 episodes of the series and received positive reviews and praise for her portrayal of Joy. When it first aired, the show had one of the highest ratings of its time, but ratings dropped after the show aired on Sundays and so was cancelled.

From 1998 to 2001, she played Sharon Carter in the sitcom “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place”, which was shortened to “Two Guys and a Girl”, starring Richard Ruccolo, Ryan Reynolds and Traylor as the ‘girl ‘. A self-confident character with commitment issues, Sharon was one of the show’s major successes as audiences liked her. The series had four booming seasons and has greatly helped the careers of its main actors, especially Ryan Reynolds. Similar to what happened with “Boston Common,” the show’s ratings plummeted after the broadcast was moved – the show originally aired on Wednesday nights, but was moved to a late-night Friday slot.

After the dramatic drop in ratings, the show was brought back to Wednesday nights, but it failed to gain the same popularity as before, leading to its cancellation in 2001.

In 2002, Traylor appeared in several television series. She appeared in “The West Wing” episode “100,000 Airplanes” as Lisa Sherborne; as Ashley Riverton in the episode “First Monday”, “Right to Die”; and in the episode “Remembrance” as Sarah Frazen in “The Division”.

That same year, she appeared as Alice O’Connor in “Bram and Alice” – eight episodes of the show were filmed, but only four aired, as the show was canceled a month after its premiere, but the cast received praise for their performances.

The show followed a Pulitzer Prize winner, Bram, who receives word from a girl named Alice who claims to be his daughter, the result of a one-night stand Bram had many years earlier.

Traylor is best known for her role as Natalie Teeger in ‘Monk’. The comedy-drama series ran from 2005 to 2009 and was originally a police procedural comedy but changed genre to a riveting comedy-drama thriller. “Monk” stars Tony Shalhoub as the title character, Adrian Monk, and Traylor plays his assistant. She first appeared in the tenth episode of season three and quickly became a fan favorite – the show was the most watched on cable until “The Walking Dead” broke their record, and the series finale had an audience of 9.4 million.

For her role as Natalie, Traylor won a 2009 Gracie Allen Award for Best Supporting Actress – Comedy Series; the series ended later that year. Traylor is good friends with Emmy Clarke, the actress who played her daughter in “Monk.”

She appeared as Julie Nolan in the pilot episode of “Nolan Knows Best” in 2010, but the show was never picked up.

In 1994 Traylor played Fran in ‘Till the End of the Night’ and in 1998 he played Anne Henning in ‘Confessions of a Sexist Pig’. Later that year, she played the romantic lead, Kathy, in “Dirty Work,” directed by Bob Saget, narrated by Norm Macdonald, and produced by Robert Simonds. The film was critically acclaimed and was a box office failure.

Traylor played a supporting role in the 2000 film ‘Me, Myself & Irene’ starring Jim Carrey, which was a box office success and became one of the highest-grossing films of the year.

In 2005, she played Tonya Avery in ‘Son of the Mask’, dubbed the ‘worst movie of the 21^st century so far,” by some critics. Needless to say, it was poorly received and did not perform well at the box office. Traylor was proposed as a nominee in the Worst Supporting Actress category for the Razzie Award in 2006, but was ultimately not nominated.

She voiced a polar bear in the short film animation “Simon Says Let’s Stop Climate Change!” in 2010, and returned in 2016 for the sequel, “Simon Says Save the Climate!”

She remarried actor and owner of Wally’s Vinoteca in Beverly Hills, Christian Navarro, on April 26, 2003.

Like her first marriage, her second didn’t last long either, and Traylor and Christian divorced in 2006.

None of her first marriages produced children, but after her second divorce, Traylor became pregnant and her son, Sabu Howard, was born on November 24, 2006; his father’s identity is unknown. Traylor was pregnant during the filming of season five of “Monk”, so newspapers, boxes, and other objects were placed in front of her stomach to hide her pregnancy, as her character was not pregnant.

In 2011, she married Jarel Portman – his father is a famous architect, John C. Portman Jr. Traylor and Jarel’s son Julien was born in 2012, after which Traylor retired from acting so she could spend more time with her family.
