Scott Kolanach Is A New Yorker
Scott Kolanach Met His Wife Stephanie Courtney At Work
Scott, a Saggitarius, met his wife, Courtney at the set of The Groundlings. They married on November 25, 2008. Together, they share a son. The bride was 35 at the time.
Stephanie had just moved to Los Angeles from New York. She was living in an apartment with her sister and fellow aspiring actress Jennifer. The two wrote a sketch show called “Those Courtney Girls,” which they performed in L.A. Courtney also joined the improv comedy troupe The Groundlings. And it was there that she met her husband, Scott Kolanach.
Kolanach’s Wife Has Been The Face Of Progressive Insurance For Over A Decade
After her graduation, Kolanach’s wife, Courtney moved to NYC and gained small roles in Blades of Glory, Mad Men, Fred: The Movie, The Heartbreak Kid, House, and The United States of Tara.
Then in 2008, she got her career-defining role of Flo in the Progressive commercials. And she’s been portraying the perky character with the blue headband ever since. While doing so, she has also grown a cult following of her own.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, she told she had booked an audition for Flo and gave a shot for it in late December of 2007. Ms. Kolanach said the studio liked it and started airing it in January 2008. Not long after, it became a steady job and Courtney would quit all of her other day jobs. As of 2021, Courtney has done over 200 commercials for the Progressive Corporation.
Scott Kolanach’s Wife Stephanie Earns $1 Million A Year
While Kolanach’s net worth is yet to be assessed, his wife is often named as one of the highest-paid commercial actors with her fortune allegedly sitting at millions. Sources claim Courtney has a net worth of $6 million. Similarly, she earns a salary of $1 million.
Analysts speculate the figure is due to her long span with the Insurance company. Reports suggest she is among the veterans who have that negotiation power with the brand outside of the typical SAG-AFTRA union pay scales.
If such sayings are to be believed, she very certainly gets a pay bump for being the official spokesperson, has residuals for current commercial airings, and has an exclusivity buyout that precludes her from taking other jobs. Accordingly, when these all sum up, someone like Ms. Kolanach likely earns at least $2 million per year.
Scott Kolanach Spoke Against United Airlines’ Public Disaster
Back in April 2017, people slammed America’s third-biggest carrier for violently dragging a passenger – a then 69-year-old Asian man believed to be a doctor – off an overbooked flight. Among those who were offended was Courtney’s theater director-husband, Scott Kolanach. Scott, who prefers to go by the name Elelegante101 over Twitter and Instagram posted then updated-logo of the Airlines. The caption on this Twitter’s imaging read,
“United Airlines updated their logo today in order to more accurately reflect their aggressive customer service policies.”
Scott Kolanach Is A Friend Of The Rerun Show Actor, Mitch Silpa
As it appears, the advertisement star’s husband, Scott Kolanach is a good confidant of actor Mitch Silpa. Silpa is best known on the Internet for his David Blaine street magic parodies. In these satires, Mitch poses as an intentionally low-quality likeness of the world-renowned magician.
Kolanach’s friend, Mitch Sipa has had small roles in sitcoms such as 2 Broke Girls, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Silpa has also starred in television shows that are for a younger audience such as I’m In the Band on Disney XD and iCarly on Nickelodeon. He has also played more serious roles like the character Deputy Everhardt in the television drama, In Plain Sight.
Scott and Sipa have often been spotted hanging out together be it a night out or enjoying a baseball game, though, it’s the latter where they are frequently by each other’s side. Silpa also seems to have a friendly relationship with Scott’s wife, Stephanie.
