'Informant' Melanie Lynskey Talks About Acting With Matt Damon

Two and Half Men actress Melanie Lynskey stopped by the studio to talk about her role as Ginger Whitacre in the new movie The Informant!

The Informant! is about Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), a businessman-turned-haphazard-goverment-informant. When the federal government decides to go after an agri-business giant with a price-fixing accusation after receiving incriminating evidence submitted by Mark, the company's vice president, they turn the whistleblower into an informant. The problem: Mark is a terrible and completely conspicuous undercover operative. Lynskey plays Mark's wife Ginger. Her other co-stars include Scott Bakula and Joel McHale.

Lynskey is a native of New Zealand and made her mark in the acting industry at age 16 when she played a teenage murderess in Peter Jackson's Academy Award-nominated Heavenly Creatures, opposite Hollywood heavyweight Kate Winslet. Soon afterwards, she starred alongside Drew Barrymore in the film Ever After. Lynskey's other acting credits include Coyote Ugly, Stephen King's "Rose Red," Sweet Home Alabama and Comanche Moon.

The Informant! hits theaters on Friday, September 18. For more information, visit theinformantmovie.warnerbros.com. Two and a Half Men airs Monday to Friday at 7pm and 11pm, and Saturdays at 6pm on PIX.
