“It started getting difficult to hide what was happening,” Ford tells PEOPLE. “Flu and food poisoning excuses only work for so long, and by the last episode of Parenthood I could no longer button my pants! I just tried to joke that I had a big lunch!”
In addition to Parenthood, Ford is known for her roles as Portia on True Blood and Christine on Dexter. Routh starred in Superman Returns, as well as Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and had a recurring role on Chuck as Daniel.
