"Just know that was a really, really wonderful time in my life. I mean, what a great time to, you know, begin an acting career," Harmon said, teasing that there could be an opening for Abbie as the D.A.
"That would be perfect. Just hang on, everybody."
Harmon has had some excellent roles during her time on-screen, and fans will be able to catch her on Lifetime's Buried in Barstow, which premieres Saturday, June 4, at 8/7c.
