Elisha Cuthbert |
The actress, who plays Alex in the ABC sitcom, previously starred in Fox drama 24and also appeared in short-lived series The Forgotten.
She told the Futon Critic: "I just felt like I was at this sort of place where I had spent a lot of time doing one-hour drama and just wanted something different.
"When you go into TV there's always that possibility you could spend the next six years of your life doing this one project [so] it's got to be something that you're excited about and you want to come to work every day to do."
Cuthbert added that striking up a chemistry with her Happy Endings co-stars was her "biggest concern" when she signed up for the show last year.
"The show is based on the friendship and relationship between these six characters [so] I made sure to get everyone together," she explained. "We made sure we did things to connect on a level outside of set and read-throughs and the chaos of putting the pilot together."
