Kaitlin Olson, known for her comedic roles in 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and 'Hacks,' explores a new territory with her latest ABC series, 'High Potential.' The show features Olson as Morgan, a cleaning lady with a high IQ who assists the LAPD in solving crimes. Olson reflects on her career trajectory and how her early experiences, including a childhood accident and societal perceptions, influenced her choice to portray characters who are often overlooked.

Kaitlin Olson has a knack for playing underestimated women. On her long-running sitcom 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' she's Dee, perpetually insulted by her pals and coworkers at Paddy's Pub. She's been Emmy nominated twice for her guest turn on ' Hacks ' as DJ Vance, the floundering adult daughter of a self-involved comedian.

But with a new pursuit came new pressures, and Olson was worried she was going to disappoint longtime fans who wanted pure silliness from her, including those who are still lamenting the 2018 cancellation of her Fox sitcom 'The Mick,' where she played a hilariously scuzzy woman in charge of raising her rich niece and nephews. Morgan has Olson's wry delivery, but she's not pratfalling, gangly limbs akimbo.
