McClure was a regular cast member until January 2009.

She co-starred in the TV series Persons Unknown - a psychological drama said to be a cross between The Prisoner, Lost and The Twilight Zone. The series was picked up by NBC but not renewed for a second season.
In 2011 she played the girlfriend of Stuart Davis in the indie film Just Be Yourself, a comedy short about a desperate man who is offered a job to 'just be himself'. She also co-hosts, with Davis, the second season (2012) of the late-night HDNet program Sex, God, Rock 'n' Roll.
In 2012, McClure joined the cast of Hemlock Grove.

Famous quotes containing the words acting and/or career:
“If I were a woman, I would never trust men who say they are feminists. Either they are acting out of guilt, trying to establish credentials, or they think they might be able to pick up more girls. If I were a woman, I would say, go away and have your first period. Then come back and tell me you are a feminist.”
—David Thomas (b. 1959)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
