The Untold Truth Of Flo From Progressive

Writer Isabella Bartlett

Courtney had an acting career long before her insurance prowess was well-known. As a member of The Groundlings Theatre & School in Los Angeles, she starred in numerous productions, including comedy titles like Groundlings Good Time Pig Farm, Groundlings Space Camp, Cooking with Gas, and currently still appears online in The Crazy Uncle Joe Show (via The Groundlings Theatre & School). 

In fact, it was while with The Groundlings, Courtney met, and later married, lighting director Scott Kolanach. "Every crazy old lady character I ever walked out as on that stage had beautiful, peachy gem lighting because he liked me," she says (via People).

Known for its cultivation of talented actors through improv workshops and sketch comedy performances — including Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell – The Groundlings also helped launch the career of Flo's sidekick Jamie, played by Jim Cashman. He adds more amusing titles to his appearance list including Groundlings Zombie Apocalypse and Groundlings Showcase Showdown, showing that the two LA actors share not only onscreen chemistry, but also a fantastic and similar sense of humor. Uniting for the 45th anniversary of the organization, you can see the smiles and joy they share on the red carpet.
