The Gilmore Girls and Parenthood alum says NBC's Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and Disney+'s The Mighty Ducks allow her to do roles outside her comfort zone. “At this stage, when Mighty Ducks came up, my agent was like, ‘Are you just choosing jobs now according to what extracurricular activities they are?'” Graham tells EW with a laugh. “Which is not how I’m doing it but I am looking for a different kind of challenge.” Although Graham does play a mom on The Mighty Ducks, she adds: “Even if I’m going to do a similar kind of character, I’d like to do it in a different environment or with a different age group...Not everybody thinks of me as a person to put in charge of things as an actor. Like, I don’t get the boss roles. That was really appealing to me, and to make something fun and off and interesting and odd. Then singing and dancing? Forget it. I thought it would be really fun — and it was.”
