Paget Brewster (born March 10, 1969 in Concord, Massachusetts) is an actress who appeared in the short-lived comedy series Andy Richter Controls The Universe and as Beth Huffstodt in the Showtime original series Huff, which aired from 2004-2006. She has now joined the cast of the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds.

Brewster first came to prominent attention in her recurring role as Kathy, Chandler's girlfriend in the fourth season of Friends.

She has a reputation as a "show killer" because many shows on which she has been a regular cast member have been cancelled early in their run.

Brewster had a short-lived Bay Area talk show and was a much admired bartender at the late Andy Boy's Drunk Tank in San Francisco.

In film, Brewster's most notable role is Ms. Indestructible, the female lead in James Gunn's low-budget superhero comedy The Specials (2000), opposite Thomas Haden Church and Rob Lowe. Rumor suggests she was hired due to her similarity to Parker Posey, who was the director's first choice.

On the March 30, 2006 episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Brewster revealed that she had recently received a handwritten note indicating Hugh Hefner would like her to pose for Playboy. She seriously considered the offer but eventually turned it down for career reasons, even though her parents gave her their blessing and she said that she admired Playboy more than laddie mags such as Maxim and FHM.

Brewster has volunteered as an actress with the Young Storytellers Program.
