You probably have never heard of Stephanie Courtney. But you've most likely seen her.
That's right, she's the actress who plays the cute and quirky cashier Flo in the Progressive Insurance commercials you've been seeing for the past year and change. She started out doing only one ad, improvising her character. Flo proved to be so popular that Courtney was called back to play her again. It's been a sweet deal for her; she's done several of these commercials.
In real life Stephanie Courtney is a comedienne as well as an actress, and she's been a member of the Groundlings, a improvisational comedy troupe founded in 1974 whose alumni includes Cheryl Hines, Kathy Griffin and Conan O'Brien, among others.
