Elisabeth Moss says she'd love to do a romantic comedy, but worries there's no interest in her starring in one.

Moss, known for her intense and serious roles in "Mad Men," "The Handmaid's Tale," and her latest movie, "The Invisible Man," expressed interest in romantic comedies while speaking to The Telegraph in an interview published on Saturday.

"I would love to do a romantic comedy for like, nine months," she told The Telegraph. "Nobody wants me to do it! They only want me to do this like, sick, challenging s---. And I get it — I do love that — but I would love to do a really smart comedic show. Obviously we're all obsessed with 'Fleabag' and I also like 'Barry.' I am looking to produce something like that, at least."

Though Moss picked up some small roles through her childhood, her breakout TV role was in Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing," where she played the president's daughter, Zoey Bartlett.

Since then she's taken on a number of acting roles, and has even stepped into producing roles.

She said she considers drama acting a comfort zone for her now that she's stepped into so many serious roles.

"I don't feel like it's a drag or it's bringing me down," she said of the roles. "I'm really good at letting it go. After every take, I'm on to the next thing. I don't wallow."
