McClure's character, a Petty Officer Second Class in the Colonial Fleet, was not featured in the original 1978 series, but was initially an analogue of Sarah Rush's original series character, Flight Corporal Rigel. McClure was a regular cast member until January 2009.
McClure recently narrated part of an audiobook METAtropolis The Red in the Sky is Our Blood (The Dawn of Uncivilization) by Hugo Award-winning author Elizabeth Bear.
She completed filming on the movies Broken Kingdom and Cole, as well as a TV adaptation of Stephen King's Children of the Corn, which was released in 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:
“It is not enough to ask, ‘Will my act harm other people?’ Even if the answer is No, my act may still be wrong, because of its effects on other people. I should ask, ‘Will my act be one of a set of acts that will together harm other people?’ The answer may be Yes. And the harm to others may be great. If this is so, I may be acting very wrongly, like the Harmless Torturers.”
—Derek Parfit (b. 1943)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
