Gunn got her onscreen start in 1992, with an episode of Quantum Leapand a TV movie called Indecency. From that point on, she began showing up in several popular shows, includingSeinfeld,NYPD Blue,Chicago Hope,ER, atSix Feet Under, as well as appearing in films, including Enemy of the State, and providing voices for video game characters. Her biggest pre-Breaking Badrole was playing Martha Bullock, the wife of Timothy Olyphant'sSeth, in the critically celebrated HBO series, Deadwood.

After Breaking Bad, Gunn appeared in episodes of The Mindy Project,Utak kriminal, atAlibughang anak. She starred in the American adaptation of the British seriesMalawak na simbahan, retitled Gracepoint, taking over the role originally played by Olivia Colman.

"The creator, David Milch, wanted Deadwood to be a slow burn," sinabi niyaAng New York Timesin 2014. "And unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to let that story really come to fruition. I was the one character in the show who was quite Victorian and proper and buttoned up. And I never got to say any of those really fun swear words. I was so disappointed!"

AngBreaking Badstar has been married once, to Scottish actor Alastair Neil Duncan, from 1990 to 2009. The couple share two daughters, Eila Rose (15) and Emma (21).

Gunn has spoken out several times over the years about the gendered hate that Skyler—and by proxy, Gunn herself—received. In 2013, when the show was still on the air, she wrote a piece for Ang New York Timestitled, "I Have a Character Issue." While playing Skyler had "been one of the most rewarding creative journeys [she's] embarked on as an actor," Gunn wrote, she soon realized that the character was "a flash point for many people's feelings about strong, non-submissive, ill-treated women." The actor reported that she had received death threats and compared the response to her character to the hate that also targeted characters like Mad Men's Betty Draper (January Jones) and The Sopranos' Carmela (Edie Falco).

In a 2019 interview with the London Evening Standard, Gunn explained that she felt "compelled to say something, not necessarily for [herself], but for [her] daughters and other women."

"I feel like I came to understand what it was, which was just the undercurrent of extreme sexism. The idea of gender roles being so deeply ingrained—it was shocking to me," she said. "…The vehemence of it, and the fact that it was just allowed—it was the id gone wild."
