Mrs. Maisel & the Second Act of Alex Borstein

Publish date: 2024-04-18

The role of Susie Myerson isn't one you'd typically expect to see Alex Borstein in. She shot to fame playing parts like Miss Swan and the Gap Troll on MADtv, and is known for her voice work, which dates back to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. She's generally been regulated to side characters.

"You know, I've been so lucky with Getting On, even Family Guy, playing these women who are not a typical sitcom mom, or a typical thing you'd see. That's the same thing with Susie," Borstein said. "She's three-dimensional, she's interesting, she's different, she's not just a sidekick with a wisecrack. She's not the fat girl…it's not about getting a guy, or why don't guys like me, it's so refreshingly different and real and fun. She's hardened, but there's a lot of soft mushy vulnerability inside."
