The early aughts were full of brief appearances on short-running shows for Kull. She showed up on the little-remembered series Gracepoint and the cultishly beloved show The Following. A little closer to her turn as Linda, Kull played a major role in the Hulu original series The Looming Tower.
That 2018 piece of historical fiction used 10 episodes to show how the rivalry between the FBI and CIA created an atmosphere of closely-guarded secrets that was anathema to coordinated protection of the United States. Kull played Kathy Shaugnessy, a member of the FBI’s I-49 squad. In the late ’90s and early aughts, that real-life unit was tasked with keeping tabs on Al Qaeda. Famously, the one-upmanship and competition between the FBI and their spy agency counterpart, coupled with a critical disregard from higher-ups of the likelihood of an attack on the United States, created the conditions in which 9/11 was allowed to happen.
