The actress tries something new by doing comedy in front of a studio audience in "Fam," which CBS premieres Thursday, Jan. 10. She plays Clem, whose vision of married life is clouded when her unpredictable half-sister (Odessa Adlon, a daugh - ter of "Better Things" star Pamela Adlon) suddenly arrives to stay — forcing Clem to try to get her fian- ce (Tone Bell) and future in-laws (Sheryl Lee Ralph, Brian Stokes Mitchell) used to the newcomer and vice versa. Dobrev allows that it took her a while to "get into a groove" for sitcom work. "I had done theater at my performing-arts high school, so I knew what that was like," she says, "but it had been so long since I was in front of a live audience that, more than anything, this was about the nerves. The writers have an idea of what they want the char- acter to be, but you have to discover it together. It's a very collaborative pro- cess." As she adjusted to performing for spectators again, Dobrev was grate- ful to be with a sitcom alum in Bell ("Disjointed") and stage veterans in Ralph ("Dreamgirls") and Tony Award winner Mitch- ell ("Kiss Me, Kate"). "I will be the first to admit that I did need the guidance," notes Dobrev. "I viewed this as a second college experience and hung onto every syllable they said. I definitely was a newbie."
