'Parks and Recreation' really made us laugh a couple of years ago and part of the show's success was the variety of characters depicted on it! One of them was certainly "April Ludgate," the apathetic college student who after working as an intern in the "Pawnee Department of Parks and Recreation", becomes Ron Swanson's assistant and eventually the Deputy Director of Animal Control.
The funny character was portrayed by the 40-year-old American actress Aubrey Plaza, who actually started her career as a comedian. After having many internships -including the art department at 'Saturday Night Live'- and after several supporting roles in films like 'Killswitch' and 'In Love', the Delaware native appeared on the small screen for the first time in the 2006 series '30 Rock', and later on she starred in 'Parks and Recreation' alongside Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, and Aziz Ansari, among other celebrities.
