Unlike series co-star Biel, Mitchell remained with the program throughout its run, and through many character changes that found Lucy marrying Kevin Kinkirk, working as an associate pastor, giving birth, and surviving both a miscarriage to twins and clinical depression.Although Mitchell branched out from television into cinematic work as early as 1996, with a turn in the fantasy - action thriller The Crow:
City of Angels, and
continued intermittent film appearances (such as a supporting role in 2005's slasher movie Saw II), she made no secret
of her real passion: performing country music as a guitarist and vocalist.
