Laura Bell Bundy is set to star in 'To the Mat'- a made-for-TV wrestling movie opposite Ricky Schroder. Bundy told Taste of Country about the project: "It's the first time I played an uptight, New York business person [in a movie], which is ironic because Ricky is from Brooklyn, and I'm from Kentucky. He was playing the southerner, and I was playing the New Yorker [laughs]! We had crossed accents."

On Broadway, Bundy originated the lead role of Elle Wood in the Broadway music "Legally Blonde," for which she received a Tony Award nomination. She also originated the role of Amber Von Tussle in the Tony-Award winning Broadway musical "Hairspray" and played Glinda in the smash hit "Wicked."

Offstage, Bundy has appeared in films including "The Adventures of Huck Finn," "Life with Mikey" and "Jumanji." She appeared in the 2006 film adaptation of "Dreamgirls" as well as in television with a recurring guest stint on the hit CBS comedy "How I Met Your Mother.
