The actress previously had single-episode guest spots on shows including Party Of Five and EZ Streets, and she hosted an episode of SNL 20 years ago, but her most extensive TV work was in a five-episode ark on Glee.   

Truth Be Told was one of the earliest shows to debut on Apple’s burgeoning streaming service after premiering in December.

In the first season, Octavia’s character Poppy investigated the case of convicted murderer Warren Cave (Aaron Paul). 

He was convicted years earlier of murdering the father of identical twins, a crime which Poppy made her name investigation.

But after he claims to have been wrongly convicted, she begins to investigate anew and as to come face-to-face with the man she helped put behind bars.
