On television, she guest starred in Sex and the City, Law & Order, The Sopranos, NCIS, Bones, Big Love, True Blood and played recurring roles in 90210, The Mentalist and American Horror Story.
In early 2012, Marc Cherry cast Wisocky in his pilot project, Devious Maids, as Evelyn, a relative antagonist. Previously, she played Bree's mother on Desperate Housewives. The series was originally in development to air on ABC, but not picked. On June 2012, Lifetime picked up the pilot with a thirteen-episode order to air on early 2013.
In October 2014, Wisocky was cast as Madame Faustina on the ABC series, Once Upon a Time. She appeared in the tenth episode of the fourth season. She's also recently guest starred on Grimm and The X-Files.
Trivia[]
- After filming the tango scene for the pilot, Wisocky and Tom Irwin (Adrian Powell) swore to take tango lessons if Devious Maids was picked up. They wound up taking a few lessons and loved it, though they stopped for a while until learning they'd be dancing together again in the second season's episode "You Can't Take It With You". As such, they took a few more lessons thus giving them a little bit of a base.[1]
