Late comer to Reno
Mary Birdsong plays Deputy Cheresa Kimball on Reno 911!, but she is the only regular cast member who was not on the show since it first aired. The character first appeared as one of many rookies who were attempting to join the Reno Police force. After all the others were eliminated for various reasons, Kimball was the only one left, and a reluctant Lt. Dangle was forced to hire her. The character's sexuality is never openly discussed, but most of the jokes concerning her seem to suggest that Kimball is a lesbian with a proclivity toward African-American women.
