Silpa was also a series regular on NBC's The Rerun Show. Silpa has had guest star roles in sitcoms such as "Will & Grace", 2 Broke Girls, "The Middle", "Reno 911", and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Although known for a more mature sense of humor, Silpa also acts in television shows that are for a younger audience such as I'm In the Band, on Disney XD and iCarly on Nickelodeon. Silpa also plays more serious roles like the character Deputy Everhardt in the television drama, In Plain Sight. As for big screen appearances, one of Silpa's more notable characters is a flight attendant named Steve in the 2011 comedy film, Bridesmaids.
