Gretchen Martin (Kimberly Williams-Paisley): Now
Kimberly Williams-Paisley was relatively well known preceding her tenure on Two and a Half Men, primarily for her roles alongside Steve Martin in the Father of the Bride saga, as well as on the TV series According to Jim. Her most recent work has been on the film The Christmas Train, and she can be seen walking red carpets with her country music star husband, Brad Paisley.
Bridget Schmidt (Judy Greer): Then
Bridget appears throughout seasons 9-12 as Walden’s ex-wife. Though she’s the reason behind his suicide attempt in the season 9 premiere, he longs to have her back though she refuses to accept him on account of his immaturity and lack of responsibility. She eventually comes around, though it’s too little, too late as Walden has moved on. She takes the news badly, and ends up ramming her car into his house.
