Life and career beginnings

McInroe studied improvisational theatre with Gary Austin, the founder of The Groundlings. [1] From her first appearance as Nina in the 1999 film Office Space , through to her appearance as Darlene in the early 2009 short film Love Never Tires, McInroe had a very different body shape than she does now. Between late 2008 and early 2011, she lost over 100 pounds (45 kg). [2]

Videos

Working with Dutch comedy video artist Jo Luijten, McInroe provides the narration on several web videos they have released under the pseudonym Squirrel-Monkey. Most of the Squirrel-Monkey videos show what social networking sites and video games might have looked like if created on the computers of the 1980s or 1990s. Since their introduction in March 2012, [3] the videos have received positive press from a number of news and technology websites, including Mashable, [4] Wired [5] and The Huffington Post . [6]
