The Red Robin Lady
Melanie Paxson fumbled around the audition world for a few years before she landed her iconic role within the Red Robin ads. She did a ton of commercial spots for Gladware previously as a commercial actress, but she participated in a ton of famous TV shows, though they were small parts. Some of these shows include The Drew Carey Show Joey, Kitchen Confidential, CSI, Rules of Engagement, The Exes, and Medium.
Moving On
Nowadays, Paxson plays Sara Brennan on the show Happy Family, and she is totally in love with her new position. Her Red Robin commercials have led her career in a direction she never could have expected, but she doesn't regret a second of it. Plus, the $50,249 paycheck made the commercial cheesiness easier to bear.
