Sari Arambulo recurred throughout the entirety of A.P. Bio’s four-season run between NBC and Peacock.
A.P. Bio follows the exploits of the bitter, vindictive, and incredibly cynical Dr. Jack Griffin (Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Glenn Howerton), a forty-something misanthrope who is forced into taking a teaching job at a Toledo area high school.
From the get-go, he chooses not to teach his students anything of value and instead uses the kids as pawns in his games of revenge. Sari Arambulo played Grace, one of those students in Jack’s classroom who is often a little too willing to go along with his many schemes.
