Just Who Are These People?
While waiting my turn at the nail salon, I read in People Magazine that the actor who portrays a woebegon soul who has to do without an up to date cell phone because of a bad credit report is, Eric Violette. He is from Canada and although he looks to be singing in the commercials, he is actually lip singing.
I was wondering who the cute, perky actress is who does the Progressive Insurance commercials.
She is Stephanie Courtney. Other roles in which Stephanie Courtney has appeared:
“Mad Men” (Marge, a secretary)
“Blades of Glory” (reporter)
“The Brothers Solomon” (Sara)
“The Heartbreak Kid” (Gayla)
“For Your Consideration” (boom operator)
“Faking the Video” (Stephanie)
From the IMDB website:
Stephanie Courtney is main company member of the famed Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles, regularly performing in their sketch and improv shows. She hails from Stony Point, New York. After graduating from the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City, she started doing stand up, which brought her to Los Angeles. She’s been invited to perform her stand up at the Aspen Comedy Festival twice. She also performed in Aspen in “Those Courtney Girls”, a show she co-wrote with her sister, Jennifer, and in the Mr. Show Tour, “Hooray for America”.
