Jayma Mays Goes on a Career Retrospective on 'Live With Regis and Kelly' (VIDEO)

'Glee' star Jayma Mays stopped by 'Live With Regis and Kelly' (weekdays, syndicated), alongside her 'Smurfs' co-star and guest host Neil Patrick Harris.

Harris was quick to point out that most people would recognize Mays as Emma, the guidance counselor on 'Glee,' but she has a fairly extensive resume of roles on high-profile TV shows like 'Heroes,' 'Ugly Betty,' and even 'Joey,' which was one of her first roles.

Mays remembered having to learn a bit of Japanese for her role on 'Heroes,' although she couldn't reproduce her lines when called upon to do so. After giving it a try she said, "Oh, I don't know what I just said," she said. "I don't know. I think I ordered a Bento box. So if someone could bring that out, that'd be great."

Mays thought her small role on 'Joey' was her first role, but Harris and Kelly Ripa found visual evidence to the contrary, embarrassing Mays with a photo of her as a child dressed as 'Annie.'
