This Is Where Else You May Have Seen Flo From Progressive

Publish date: 2024-05-04

Born Feb. 8, 1970, in Stony Point, N.Y., Stephanie Courtney graduated from Binghamton University in 1992, and long before she became Flo, she realized her passion for acting. In an interview with Binghamton University Magazine, Courtney stated, "I was never tortured over whether I wanted to become an actor. There was never another option in my mind." In 2010, Courtney told The Washington Post that, before her Progressive gig, she landed, on average, about one commercial per year. "What I netted wasn't exactly matching the hours I was putting in. I figured I'm not a face that makes people want to buy Lysol. Then I auditioned for Progressive." And that all changed. 

Courtney moved to Los Angeles in 1997, and she and her sister attended a show at the Groundlings, which features an influential comedy and improv troupe. She was immediately hooked, telling Cosmopolitan, "It felt a lot more like acting to me than stand-up because there was someone with an acting partner up there. I signed up for classes the next day and started going through that program." She's an alumni of the Groundlings troupe and can currently be seen in "The Crazy Uncle Joe Show." Despite being best known for playing Flo, Stephanie Courtney has a long line of acting credits to her name.
