The actress, best known for "24," had that memorable moment (or at least her character, Alex, did) on ABC's comedy "Happy Endings" last season. Cuthbert told CNN that was her favorite moment that has aired on the show so far (but look out for the upcoming Halloween episode, for another one). “I’m just in a place where I’m just ready to give it my all," she said.
